      FRANK E. CARR, manager of the Portland branch of the American 
Typefounders Company, has been identified with the printing type business 
since young manhood and is regarded as an authority on that subject. He has 
been very efficient in the management of the business in this city and is 
highly esteemed in commercial circles. Mr. Carr was born in Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania, on the 8th of May, 1865, and is a son of Thomas and Rose 
(McGinnis) Carr, both of whom are deceased. His father, who was a cabinetmaker 
by trade, took his family to San Francisco, California, in 1868, and was there 
employed at his trade during his remaining years.

     Frank E. Carr obtained his education in the public schools of San 
Francisco and then went to work for the Miller & Richard Type Foundry in that 
city. This concern was later consolidated with Palmer & Rey, which in 1892 
sold the business to the American Typefounders Company. In 1889 Mr. Carr came 
to Portland for Palmer & Rey and in 1894 returned to San Francisco, where he 
remained with the American Typefounders Company until 1905. In that year he 
again came to Portland as salesman for that company, continuing in that 
capacity until 1918, when he was made manager of the Portland branch. The 
business is located at 47 Fourth street, where it occupies two floors and 
basement of a building, forty by one hundred feet. The company which he 
represents is the largest of its kind in the world and maintains branch houses 
in all the important cities of this country.

     In 1894 Mr. Carr was united in marriage to Miss Augusta Hoehapfel, of 
Portland, and they have a daughter, Mrs. George McConnell, of Portland, who is 
the mother of a son, George, Jr. Mr. Carr is a strong republican in his 
political views and has shown a helpful interest in public affairs and in 
matters affecting the progress of his community. He is a member of Washington 
Lodge, No. 46, A. F. & A. M., and Oregon Consistory, No. 1, A. A. S. R., in 
which he has received the fourteenth degree. He also belongs to the 
Advertising Club and the Chamber of Commerce and is extremely popular among 
his associates and acquaintances.
