REVELLE, GEORGE H.: WITH EACH forward step bringing him a broader outlook and 
wider vision, the advancement of George H. Revelle, of the firm of Revelle & 
Revelle, of Seattle, in the practice of law, has been won at the cost of 
earnest, diligent effort that is manifest in the preparation of cases and in 
their presentation before the courts.  Mr. Revelle is a native of Maryland, 
where he was born in 1871.  His educational training was had in Fairmount 
Academy and Western Maryland college, and he has taken the A. B. degree (1897) 
and the A. M. degree (1898).  His legal training was in New York University, 
from which he graduated, as a member of the class of 1901, taking the LL. B. 
degree.  in 1901 Mr. Revelle came to Seattle to make his home, beginning 
practice alone.  in 1904 he entered partnership with his brother and the firm 
became Revelle & Revelle.  About a year later another brother entered the 
copartnership with his brother and the firm became Revelle & Revelle.  About a 
year later another brother entered the copartnership, and the firm became 
Revelle, Revelle & Revelle , as it exists today, one of the most 
representative in the state.  Mr. Revelle as a result of painstaking effort 
and hard, conscientious work, has succeeded in building up a clientele of 
which he has every just reason for feeling proud.  He appears quite frequently 
in the courts and the records indicate clearly the splendid success with which 
he meets.  In 1901 Mr. Revelle married Miss Anna Boss, and the couple have two 
children a boy and a girl.  He is a member of the Royal Arcanum, Woodmen of 
the World, Chamber of Commerce, and the state and county bar associations.  
For five years he served as president of the Seattle Commercial Club, which, 
later, was merged with the Chamber of Commerce.
