Wakley iwakley@msn.com June 10, 2009, 9:22 pm Author: The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company PAUL CAMPBELL. One of the leading bond and stock dealers of Portland is Paul Campbell, whose offices are in the United States National Bank building and who is commanding a large and growing business. He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1896, and is a son of F. J. and Minnie (Day) Campbell, who came to Portland in 1906 and the former is now engaged in the real estate business in this city. Paul Campbell completed a course in the public and high schools and then entered Leland Stanford University, from which he was graduated in 1920. In the meantime he had seen active service in the World war, having enlisted in 1917 in the Oregon Engineers. He was in the army two years, during sixteen months of which period he was with the allied forces in France. On graduating from college, Mr. Campbell came back to Portland and in 1922 entered the employ of Pierce, Fair & Company, one of Portland's leading bond houses, of which he was made manager in December, 1925. He has six salesmen under his direction and has made an enviable record in handling of bonds and stocks, commanding the confidence of all who have dealt with him. In 1923 Mr. Campbell was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Parelius, of this city, and they are the parents of two children, Paul, Jr., and Nancy. The republican party receives Mr. Campbell's support and he is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Kiwanis Club, the Oswego Country Club, the American Legion and the Chamber of Commerce. He has proven a man of high business qualifications and has not only been very successful in a material way, but also in winning and retaining the friendship and esteem of his fellowmen.
