HARRY B. FULMER.

Harry B. Fulmer is a partner in the firm of Fulmer Brothers of Yakima,
conducting an extensive machine shop and garage business which includes also
the sale of Velie motor cars and trucks. 'Mr. Fulmer comes to the northwest from
Iowa, his birth having occurred in Hickory Grove, that state, on the 16th of
April, 1885. He is a son of John and Mary Fulmer, mentioned elsewhere in this
work in connection with the sketch of their son, Franklin R. Fulmer, who is a
partner of Harry B. Fulmer.

The latter acquired a public school education and when his textbooks were laid
aside he took up the business of learning the machinist's trade, being employed
by the Root & Van Der Voort Engineering Company, manufacturers of gas engines
and automobiles, of East Moline, Illinois. He continued to work at the trade,
becoming a tool and die maker with the Rock Island Railway Company at Silvis,
Illinois. Later he was with the Union Pacific Railroad Company as expert
gasoline engineer, working for the Union Pacific and for the McKeen Motor Car
Company jointly at Omaha. He was next sent to Yakima to take charge of the
gasoline equipment of the North Coast Railway Company, which was afterward taken
over by the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company and eventually by the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. Mr. Fulmer continued for seven years in that line of
work and on the 27th of May, 1910, arrived in Yakima. In 1917 he joined his
brother, F. R. Fulmer, under the firm style of Fulmer Brothers, and has since
been active in this business, to which he brought thorough training and broad
experience. They employ from ten to twelve workmen and they have the largest and
best equipped machine shop in the city. Their patronage in that connection is
very liberal and at the same time they are doing a good business as sales agents
for the Velie motor cars and trucks. Their garage department is fast proving an
important branch of their business and they are meeting with success in all that
they undertake.

On the 20th of June, 1906, Mr. Fulmer was married to Miss Alma Peterson, of
Moline, Illinois, and to them have been born two children, but the elder,
Gladys, is now deceased. The younger, Helen, is five years of age.

Mr. Fulmer does not ally himself with any political party but casts an
independent ballot. Fraternally he is connected with the Benevolent Protective
Order of Elks.
