**********************************************************************

Carl P. Lobban, of Carl P. Lobban's Athletic Goods Company of Warrens-
burg, Missouri, is one of this city's enterprising and successful young
merchants.  He is one of Warrensburg's own boys, having been born in 
the city in 1892, a son of G. A. and Sarah Ann (Johnston) Lobban, the
former, a native of Virginia and the latter, of Missouri.  G. A. Lobban
came to Missouri in the early fifties.  To Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Lobban
were born five children: Albert, Warrensburg, Missouri; Mrs. Leora 
Brewer, Fort Worth, Texas; Leslie, Warrensburg, Missouri; Ethyl, 
Warrensburg, Missouri; and Carl P., the subject of this review.  The
three sons, Alfred, Leslie and Carl, are all prominent and leading mer-
chants of Warrensburg.  A more comprehensive sketch of the Lobbans
appears elsewhere in the volume in connection with the biography of
G. A. Lobban.  Mr. Lobban, whose name introduces this sketch, attended
the city schools of Warrensburg and the Warrensburg High School.  After
completing his high school work, he traveled through the West for some
time and spent several months in California and Texas.  In January, 
1914, Carl P. Lobban entered the mercantile business in Warrensburg,
purchasing the H. E. Schneitter's Sporting Goods Company's establish-
ment, and for the past three years has continued in business in Warren-
sburg at 122 North Holden street.  The firm is now known as the Carl P.
Lobban's Athletic Goods Company.  This store carries a complete line of
sporting goods, athletic supplies, all things needed in the way of 
school supplies by the students of the Warrensburg State Normal School,
and a large library of Victor records.  This is the only store in the
city which can completely equip the students of the Normal School.  The
stock is neatly and artistically arranged and is in every respect up to
date and a model, clean line of the best that money can buy.  Mr. 
Lobban is an ambitious "hustler" and he is deservedly "making good" in
the mercantile business.  He is one of the county's most highly valued
and promising citizens of the younger generation.
