Allan L. Dickinson. --- One of the most prominent of Coleman's promoters is Allan L. Dickinson, the manager of the Coleman Development Company and an influential worker in the building up of the business and industrial institutions of the city. He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but was reared and educated in Chicago, Illinois, and in his early youth he became a traveling salesman and traveled for wholesale dry goods houses out of Chicago from 1881 to 1895, during a large part of that time covering the territory from St. Paul to the Pacific coast on the Northern Pacific Railroad, but during the latter part of the period he traveled in Texas. In 1892 he bought a ranch and went into the cattle business in Kendall county, but in 1898 he sold his interests there and came to Coleman county, where he resumed his cattle business and also engaged in farming and other interests. More recently he has engaged quite extensively in real estate development in Coleman, and with his associates has successfully promoted a number of important new enterprises in this city, including a cotton compress and a cotton oil mill, and plans are in progress for a new hotel, a large brick plant and other industries. He was one of the organizers and is the manager of the Coleman Development Company, which in the summer of 1909 placed on the market the Santa Fe addition to Coleman, an eighty-four acre tract situated in the northwest part of the town and laid off into building lots, with streets graded, water pipes laid and all conveniences furnished for the building of homes. The lots in this addition are particularly convenient for persons connected with the oil mill, the cotton compress and other industries located in the northwest section of the city, and it was in fact for their accommodation largely that the property was developed and improved. Mr. Dickinson took an active part in the securing of the Santa Fe cut-off for Coleman, and in fact many of the city's most prominent institutions owe their origin and development to him.
He married Josephine Forsyth, who was born in Florida, and they have two daughters, Marie and Josephine.
