W. B. Sloan
LTER BENNETT
SLOAN, manager of the
William Cameron &
Co., Inc., has been connected
with that firm
almost from the time
he came to Texas, fifteen years
ago. Beginning at the bottom he
has worked up to the managership
of the large interests of that company
in Fort Worth. In this way
he has been connected closely with
much of the building activity that
has marked the city in the past few
years. Mr. Sloan is of Scotch ancestry,
members of the family having
come to America at an early date.
Both his mother and father were
natives of North Carolina, where he,
also, was born. He is the son of
John L. Sloan and Mrs. Salena
Sloan. A Democrat all his life, he .
has taken no part in politics in an
active way and has not sought
political office nor preferment, devoting
his time exclusively to the
business in which he has proven so
successful. He married Miss Emma
Shulenberger thirteen years ago, a
short time after coming to Texas to
make his residence here. Mr. Sloan
is a member of the Masons and the
Elks. He is extremely fond of
hunting and spends his recreation
periods largely in the field with his
gun. He is one of the most popular
of the host of young business men
who have made Fort Worth notable
for its push and energy, and in addition
to his important business connections
has built up a large acquaintance
and has a host of loyal
friends.
