SAMUEL FANTLE.

Business enterprise in Sioux Falls finds an exponent in Samuel Fantle, a merchant who is a partner in the firm of Fantle Brothers and who, conducting his interests according to the most modern and progressive ideas of commercialism, is meeting with success. He was
born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, January 12, 1865, his parents being Charles and Regina (Gregor) Fantle. He acquired his education in the public schools of his native city, passing through consecutive grades until he was graduated from the high school, and was thus well equipped
for the responsibilities and duties which have come in later life. He received his business training in his father's store and under his father's direction at Ann Arbor, remaining with the house after the removal of the business to St. Paul, Minnesota. In fact he continued to
assist his father until the latter's retirement, after which the business was continued by the sons.

In 1900 Samuel Fantle came to Sioux Falls, where he joined his brother in the conduct and management of a store which the latter had founded in 1895. The partnership resulted in the utilization of the present firm name of Fantle Brothers. The business, begun in 1895, was
comparatively a modest one but has been steadily developed until it is probably the largest enterprise of its kind in the state. It has been necessary to constantly increase the stock in order to meet the growing demands of the trade and the establishment shows all that is most
attractive in goods of domestic and foreign manufacture. The store is splendidly appointed and attractive and pleasing in its arrangement, and the firm holds to the highest standards in the personnel of the house and in the treatment accorded patrons, courtesy and consideration
being demanded of the salespeople at all times, while thoroughly reliable business methods constitute the underlying principle of the house. In addition to his large mercantile interests Samuel Fantle is identified largely with the city's financial activities as a stockholder and director in several local banks and he has large investments in land in Colorado and elsewhere.

On the 8th of July, 1912, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Fantle and Miss Helen Cohen, a native of Selma, Alabama, and they have one son, Samuel, Jr. Their city residence, recently completed, is one of the finest in the state. It is beautifully and tastefully furnished,
comfort being its primary feature with elegance simply as an accessory. Here the true spirit of hospitality reigns supreme and their home is the center of many a brilliant society function.

In politics Mr. Fantle maintains an independent course, voting for men and measures rather than party. In Masonry he has attained high rank, having taken the thirty-second degree of the Consistory. He also has membership with the Elks and with the Dacotah and Minnehaha County Country Clubs. He is also a member of the Commercial Club and is in thorough sympathy with all its projects for the upbuilding of the city, the extension of its commercial relations and the upholding of its civic standards. Mr. Fantle is a devotee of outdoor sports and enjoys all phases of life in the country or the woods He is justly accounted one of the most energetic business men of Sioux Falls and his success is attributable in no small degree to the fact that he always continued in the line in which he embarked as a young tradesman, never
dissipating his energies over a diversified field. He has ever followed constructive measures and to build up rather than to destroy has been his broad policy. In the management of his affairs his has not been the command of the tyrant to go but the call of the leader to come, and his
business at all times balances up with the principles of truth and honor.
