JULIUS E. LINDE.

A native of Winneshiek county, Julius E. Linde holds the important position of cashier of the Calmar Savings Bank, of Calmar, Iowa, although he has not yet passed his twenty-third birthday. His career stands in evidence of the fact that more and more important business affairs are entrusted to young men, who are proving their ability by the excellent results which they obtain and by the progressive policies which they advocate. Born in Ridgeway, Winneshiek county, Iowa, in a log cabin on Turkey river on October 10, 1890, he is a son of Ole J. and Emily (Hoppenstead) Linde, the father of Long Prairie, Illinois, and the mother a native of Winneshiek county. The former was brought here by his parents in 1864, when nine years of age, and in this county he was reared and educated, remaining at work for his father, who is still living at the age of seventy-nine years. He remained on the home farm until he was of age, when he set himself up independently, renting a farm until he had acquired the means to buy one hundred and sixty acres of land in Lincoln township. This purchase was made in 1892, and he has since engaged in the improvement and cultivation of his land, the years having brought him prosperity in return for his incessant toil, his energy and his industry. The five children in this family are: Julius E., of this review; and Alletta, Hattie, Owen and Andrew.

Julius E. Linde was reared upon the home farm and received his education in the schools of Ridgeway and Drake University of Des Moines, Iowa. Previous to his matriculation, however, he had already served as assistant cashier of the Merchants State Bank at Vela, North Dakota, for two years. His university course was cut short by his acceptance of the office of cashier of the Calmar Savings Bank, in which capacity he is still active. Alert, conscientious, capable, he brings to the performance of his duties all the qualities necessary to make a success of his position and expand the business of the bank. Although yet quite young for a man in a position of such responsibility, he has become generally recognized as an able banker and is well informed upon all financial transactions and situations, making use of his intimate knowledge in the interest and upbuilding of the banking house of which he is at the head. Politically Mr. Linde is a republican, and his religious adherence is given to the Lutheran church. If his early success is any indication of what the future holds in store for him, a conspicuously brilliant career may be prophesied for him—a career that will result not only in his individual prosperity but will play a role in the commercial advancement and development of Winneshiek county and particularly of his locality.
