MARVIN PRESTON THOMPSON.

MARVIN PRESTON THOMPSON.
Marvin Preston Thompson, conducting business under the name of the Thompson Motor Company and thus well known to the automobile trade of Cheyenne, was born in Detroit, Michigan, on the 28th of March, 1891. It does not seem strange that a native son of Detroit should turn to the automobile business, for that city is certainly a center of motor car manufacture and sales. Mr. Thompson is a son of George 0. and Bertha (Davis) Thompson. He was educated in the public and high schools, attending the latter for two years. In young manhood he turned his attention to the real estate business in Detroit and was thus engaged for several years, after which he entered the employ of the Ford Motor Company of that city. He dates his residence in Wyoming from 1914 and through the intervening period he has dealt exclusively in Ford cars, maintaining both a sales and service department, with fifteen thousand square feet in his garage. Something of the volume of his business, which has steadily grown, is indicated in the fact that he now employs fourteen men and his trade covers all of the central section of Laramie county. He likewise maintains a branch establishment at Pinebluff, Wyoming, where he owns the building that he occupies and from that branch he also controls a portion of the Ford trade in western Nebraska. On the 9th of September, 1914, Mr. Thompson was united in marriage to Miss Lois Keirsey, and they are highly esteemed in the community where they make their home. Mr. Thompson votes with the republican party and he is identified with the Industrial Club, the Country Club and with other organizations that lead to the material improvement and the development of the social life of city and county. He is a very alert and energetic young business man and is connected with the Salesmanship Congress of America. In a word he is closely studying all that bears upon trade relations and especially upon the upbuilding of the automobile business and his own experience enables him to speak with authority concerning the systematic direction of trade interests in a given territory. He is ever watchful of indications pointing to success and his enterprise brooks no obstacles that can be overcome by persistent, earnest and honorable effort.
