ROSS BREMNER was born October 8,
1870, in Invergordon, Ross-shire, Scotland, the son of Donald Bremner and
Jessie Mackenzie Bremncr. His father is living at the old homestead in
Scotland.
Mr. Bremner attended the public
school in Invergordon. In 1892 he came to New York, and in 1897 became a
citizen of the United States. In 1896 he started in the business of
furniture, upholstery and interior decoration, and the firm was
incorporated in 1908 as the John R. Bremner Company, of which he is the
President. The business has not only devel-
oped extensively in New York and other cities,
but has extended throughout the eastern states from Maine to Texas. This
growth has been largely due to the genial personality of the President, as
well as to the fine quality and reliability of the work that has built up
the reputation of his firm.

of business and social acquaintances. He is Exalted Ruler of the
