One of the prominent young business men of Minneapolis who has steadily worked
his way to a position of importance, is Allan J. Hill, a director of the Janney,
Semple, Hill Company. He was born in this city, on the 14th of September, 1887,
a son of Horace M. and Mary (Whitmore) Hill.

Minneapolis and was graduated from Central high school. He then enrolled in
Haverford University at Haverford, Pennsylvania, where he took a scientific
course, graduating from that institution with the class of 1909. He immediately
returned to Minneapolis and entered the employ of the Janney, Semple, Hill
Company, of which his father is a member. He has been with this company since he
was twenty-one years of age and his close application to business and innate
ability have won for him constant promotion. He is the buyer of sporting goods
and automobile supplies and since 1914 has been a director of the company.
Minneapolis numbers him among her most progressive and representative young
business men.

the. furtherance of any movement for the development and improvement of the
city. He is essentially an outdoor man. During his college days he participated
in all athletics and was particularly prominent as a player of baseball,
handball and hockey, and is still a devotee of those sports. He is also a well
