FRANK E. BROOKMAN.
Frank E. Brookman, vice president and general manager of the
Equitable Realty Building Company of Denver, started upon his business
career in connection with factory work and in the winter of 1901
arrived in this city a comparative stranger. Watchful of opportunities
pointing to success, he at length became prominently identified with
industrial and commercial interests of the city and is today occupying
a substantial position in business circles by reason of the keen
foresight which he has displayed in investment and the indefatigable
energy which has characterized him in the conduct of all of his
business affairs. Mr. Brookman is a native of Chicago, Illinois. He was
born on the 29th of August, 1878, and is the only child of the marriage
of Frank E. and Emma (Shingledecker) Brookman. The father was born in
New Jersey and was of Austrian descent, his father Anton Brookman,
having become the founder of the family in the new world. Frank E.
Brookman, Sr., was reared and educated in New Jersey and removed
westward to Chicago prior to the great fire of 1871. He engaged in the
manufacture of heavy chemicals and conducted a profitable business, his
success being attributable entirely to his own efforts, for he started
out empty-handed. His political allegiance was given to the democratic
pirty and he did everything in his power to advance the interests of
his party and promote civic standards. He represented the Lakeview
district in the state legislature on a number of occasions
notwithstanding this was a strong republican district. The vote which
he received indicated his personal popularity and the confidence
reposed in him by his fellow townsmen. He died in Chicago, February 14,
1891, when forty-seven years of age. His wife is a native of
Cincinnati, Ohio, and is of Dutch descent. She is still a resident of
Chicago.
Frank E. Brookman of this review began his education in the
public schools of his native city, passed through consecutive grades to
the high school and afterward became a student in the Athenaeum
Business College of Chicago, from which he was graduated with the class
of 1898. During the following two years he was employed in his father's
factory, but he believed the west offered better business opportunities
and in 1899 he removed to Denver, where he arrived in the winter-a
comparative stranger. For several years he did not engage in active
business pursuits. He then entered business circles by purchasing the
carriage works of the firm of Robertson & Doll. He conducted the
business for several years, after which he sold out to the Denver
Omnibus & Carriage Company. Later he became connected with his present
business and on the 16th of February, 1912, became vice president and
general manager of the Equitable Building, in which capacity he has
since continued. He is thus directing important business interests and
is meeting with success as the result of his keen sagacity and
unfaltering enterprise.
Mr. Brookman was married in Lincoln, Nebraska, on the 30th of
August, 1913, to Mrs. Leona (Spencer) Barth, a native of Ohio and a
daughter of Mrs. Susan Spencer. Mr. Brookman belongs to the Lakewood
Country Club and also to the Denver Civic and Commercial Association.
In politics he maintains an independent course. His religious faith is
indicated by his membership in the Galilee Baptist church, of which he
formerly served as trustee. He has made for himself a creditable place
in business circles and in public regard since becoming a resident of
Denver and is today accounted one of its progressive and representative
citizens.
