core, having lived in this state all but
the first three months of his life. and
always having been closely identified
with its interests. His school years
were spent in the Pennington public
schools and the Michigan Agricultural
College. Attic age of fifteen he entered
his fathers store, the entire business of
which was turned over to him six years
later. Since that time he has been large
ly interested in the general mercantile
business, the manufacture of cheese on
large scale, and general farming.
From the beginning of his active bust
ness career, Mr.. Warner has made Farm

little suburb of Detroit, with Mrs.

two girls, he enjoys that ideal country
home life which is the pride and bless

because he believes in and honestly
