NEIL JAMES DE SANDERS.

    Neil James De Sanders is one of the rising, enterprising and successful
young business men of Logan, where he is dealing in bicycles and motorcycles and
all kinds of supplies in that line. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, May 18,
1890, and is a son of Anthony and Ida (Galagan) De Sanders. The father was a
native of France and was a man of means and of letters. He came to the United
States in 1885 and passed away in 1904. His wife is also deceased.

    Neil James De Sanders pursued his education in the public schools of
Cleveland, Ohio, and of Denver, Colorado. In his youth he learned the
machinist's trade and also acquainted himself with the bicycle and motorcycle
business and in 1915 he came to Logan, where he established the business in
which he is now engaged. In addition to handling bicycles and motorcycles he
carries a large line of supplies and his trade has reached gratifying
proportions. He has also been much interested in motorcycle races and in
automobile races.

    In 1915 Mr. De Sanders was married to Miss Nina Gallacher, of Salt Lake, and
they have one child, Neil James, Jr. Mr. De Sanders belongs to the Commercial
Boosters Club of Logan and is in thorough sympathy with the purposes of that
organization in the upbuilding of the city, the promotion of its trade relations
and the development of the various interests which constitute matters of civic
virtue and civic pride. He has won the proud American title of a self-made man,
and his advancement in commercial circles is attributable entirely to his own
labors and sound business judgment.
