SURNAMES:  HOLLANDER, CARLIN


Los Gatos is to be congratulated on having within its confines such an excellent establishment as that of E. E. Barnard, the experienced and enterprising jeweler, who is a native of Australia, where he was born at Sydney, March 29, 1895. His parents were I. M. and Edith (Hollander) Barnard; and in 1913 Mrs. Barnard and our subject migrated to California and settled at Eureka, Cal., where Grandfather S. F. Hollander was already engaged in the jewelry trade, and has been active and prominent in that field for the past forty years.

After graduating from the Sydney high school, E. E. Barnard learned the jeweler's trade at Sydney, having been apprenticed there for five years, and having paid $500 to be initiated into one of the oldest and most widely-recognized arts in the world; so when he reached Eureka, Cal., he was able to enter his grandfather's establishment and take hold as an expert journeyman. At the end of five years he came to San Jose and accepted a position at Bothwell's, which he filled to everyone's satisfaction for two years, making many friends and also learning more of the details peculiar to the American and the California trade.

In 1919, Mr. Barnard removed to Los Gatos and bought the jewelry store at the corner of Main and University streets; and since taking hold he has more than doubled the volume of trade, making it of realimportance in the local commercial and art worlds, and the trade is constantly increasing, in that respect keeping pace with the interesting growth of the promising town. He carries a complete and costly line, with enough of variety to meet everybody's demands, and he also manufactures for those who wish special, original work. Mr. Barnard is a live wire in the Merchants' Association and Chamber of Commerce, and as an adopted citizen, he is an equally live leader in the local councils of the Democratic party.

At Eureka, in December, 1916, Mr. Barnard was married to Miss Aurea Carlin, a native daughter of enviable accomplishments, who has entered into his ambitious plans and joined him in extending a hospitality worthy of the Californian. They have one child, Harold. Mr. Barnard belongs to the Woodmen of the World, Odd Fellows and Red Men.
