HARTMAN, DWIGHT D.: ONE of the most successful young members of the bar is 
Dwight D Hartman, of Seattle, who, together with his brother, is associated 
with his father in practice.  Mr. Hartman is a native of Nebraska, where he 
was born in 1888.  His early educational training was had in public schools.  
As a student later in the University of Washington he took a mechanical 
engineering course, after leaving college prepared for the legal profession 
under the preceptorship of his father, John P. Hartman, one of the best known 
and ablest attorneys in the northwest.  Mr. Hartman was admitted to the bar as 
a practicing attorney in 1914 and became a member of the firm of Hartman & 
Hartman in 1916.  In 1917, Mr. Hartman enlisted in the recent World war, and 
was two years in army service, being mustered out with the rank of Captain in 
1919.  As a member of the bar his efforts have been marked by consistent 
success.  He weighs carefully every move he makes, and fortifies himself in 
every respect against emergencies.  He belongs to the school of lawyers who 
have no patience with members of the profession who attempt to play upon 
sympathy in the conduct of a trial, but prefers to base his case upon the 
evidence as developed.  Mr. Hartman, is as yet, unmarried.  He is a member of 
the College club, Engineers' club, Inglemoor Country club, and the county and 
state bar associations.  He is a thirty-second degree Mason.
