HENRY C. HOLLEMON

     Among the energetic and successful automobile dealers of Harrisburg, Linn
county, stands Henry C. Hollemon, who is the local dealer in Oakland, Pontiac
and Chevrolet cars, in the handling of which he has been more than ordinarily
successful. He was born at Pryor Creek, Oklahoma, in 1891, and is a son of J. J.
and Martha S. (Thompson) Hollemon, the latter of whom is deceased, while the
father, who is a farmer, now lives in Texas.
     Henry C. Hollemon secured his education in the public schools and at the
age of sixteen years began, to learn the trade of a machinist in Denver,
Colorado, also gaining a knowledge of automobile mechanics. He established a
garage in Denver and handled the agency for the Rambler cars for a time, but
later went to Butte, Montana, where he was employed for wages. He opened a
repair shop there, which he operated for three years, and in 1923 came to
Oregon, locating first in Portland, and in the fall of that year came to
Harrisburg. In 1924 he took over the local agency for the Star car, but since
1926 has confined his attention to the Oakland, Pontiac and Chevrolet cars. He
maintains in connection with the agency a complete service department, keeping a
full line of parts and accessories and a well equipped repair shop. He employs
two people and has gained an enviable reputation in his line of business.
     In May, 1926, Mr. Hollemon was united in marriage to Miss Gladys Belts, of
Harrisburg, a daughter of George G. Belts, who was a pioneer settler in this
section of the state. Mrs. Hollemon is an active member of the Order of the
Eastern. Star and Mr. Hollemon is a Mason. He is a democrat in his political
views and is a member of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. He has not only
been successful in his material affairs, but has also, through his consistent
and straight-forward life, won a high place in the estimation of his fellowmen.
