PAUL R. MACMICHAEL
Paul R. MacMichael, secretary and manager of the credit department of the
Winston. Harper, Fisher Company, and a stockholder in the company, is one of the
vital and progressive business men of the younger generation in his native city.
He was born in Minneapolis, on the 7th of August, 1892, a son of Richard and
Emma L. (Parritt) Mac-Michael. The father was born in Devonshire, Scotland, and
came to America at an early day, having first located in Canada. He was a coffee
buyer for the greater part his life and achieved substantial success. His demise
occurred in his sixty-ninth year. His widow survives him and is sixty-two years
of age. She was a daughter of George Parritt, who was a furniture manufacturer
in Connecticut.
The public schools of Minneapolis afforded Paul R. MacMichael his early
education and he attended high school one year. At the termination of that time
he enrolled in a business college and after putting his textbooks aside accepted
a position as city salesman with the Winston, Harper, Fisher Company. In 1912 he
was promoted to the credit department as assistant and later was placed in
charge of all the city business in the credit department. In 1916 he became a
stockholder and was made secretary and manager of the credit department. Mr.
MacMichael is in every sense of the word a self-made man. In early life he
formed habits of industry and thrift and his close application to the thing at
hand and his innate ability won for him constant promotion. Mr. MacMichael
enjoys much personal popularity among his coworkers and further success in
business is assured him. He owns some property in Minneapolis, among which is
his home, valued at twelve thousand dollars. In 1918, in Minneapolis, Mr.
MacMichael enlisted for service in the World war, was sent to the Officers'
Training Camp at Rockford, Illinois, and was there when the armistice was
signed.
On the 30th of May, 1919, in Minneapolis, was celebrated the marriage of Mr.
Mac-Michael and Miss Josephine Cane. To their union one daughter has been born,
Betty Jane, two years of age.
In his political views Mr. MacMichael is a republican. He maintains an active
interest in party affairs and is well informed on all important questions and
issues of the day. Fraternally he is identified with the Masons and the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He is a member of the Athletic Club, the
Superior Golf Club, the Kiwanis Club, and the Civic & Commerce Association, and
he is president of the Minneapolis Credit Men's Association. His religious faith
is that of the Baptist church, of which he is a trustee. For recreation Mr.
MacMichael turns to the great outdoors and he is very fond of golf, in which
sport he is proficient.
