     HARRY S. DORMAN, in the capacity of general freight agent, is rendering 
valuable service to the McCormick Steamship Company at Portland, and is 
regarded as particularly well qualified for that important position. Born in 
Litchfield, Minnesota, on the 27th of November, 1890, he is a son of George W. 
and Mamie Elizabeth (Scoles) Dorman. In 1893 the family came to the coast, 
locating at Everett, Washington, where the father was employed as a mechanical 
engineer with the Sumner Iron Works. 

     Harry S. Dorman completed the public and high school courses in that city 
and entered the University of Washington, from which he was graduated with the 
degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1915. Soon afterward he came to Portland and 
entered the employ of the Portland Iron Works, with which he was connected 
until 1917, when he enlisted in the United States Coast Artillery. After a 
period of training, he was sent overseas, where he served six months, 
receiving a commission as captain. At the close of the war he returned home 
and was honorably discharged, after which he came back to Portland and for two 
years was with the Pacific Car and Foundry Company. In 1923 he entered the 
employ of the McCormick Steamship Company, and in 1924 was made general 
freight agent for that company in which position he is still serving. He is 
alert and energetic, has proven himself a good business getter and has been a 
material factor in the success of the McCormick line.

     In January, 1918, Mr. Dorman was united in marriage to Miss Evalyn 
Cutter, of Seattle, Washington, who is a graduate of the University of 
Washington, and they are the parents of three children, Theodore, Robert and 
George. Mr. Dorman is a member of Portland Lodge, No. 5, A. F. & A. M.; 
Washington Chapter, No. 18, R. A. M.; Portland Post, No. 1, A. L., of which he 
was commander in 1927; the Columbia Country Club; and the Peninsula Golf Club, 
of which he is a director. His political views are in harmony with the 
platform of the republican party.
