TYLER, A. W.:  I HAVE included A. W. Tyler, of Olympia, in my blue book for 
the same reason that I have included others-qualification.  Not only does he 
stand high as a member of the bar, and is regarded as one of the most 
successful attorneys in Olympia, but at the same time he is a man of keenly 
analytical mind, a deep thinker and a close student of human nature.  Mr. 
Tyler was born in Illinois in 1872.  Following attendance on public schools, 
he received a classical education at Carthage College, Illinois, and graduated 
from the Law Department of Yale University in 1896, receiving the degree of 
LL. B.  He was admitted to the Washington bar in 1915 and located in Olympia, 
where he is now engaged in the practice of his profession.  In court, he 
appears without desire for oratorical display, though fully capable of such, 
but prefers conducting a case upon its merits, upon the facts and evidence as 
introduced, and in accordance with the law applicable to same.  He was 
married, in 1900, to Miss Marguerite Pound.  He is a member of the Kiwanis 
club, masons, Knights of Pythias, Elks, Brotherhood of American yeoman, and 
the County, State and American bar associations.
