- The City of Detroit, Michigan (1701-1922)
By William Stocking
Gerald Hulett
Various corporate interests feel the stimulus and profit by the cooperation of Gerald Hulett, a native son of Detroit and an enterprising and successful young business man, who is well known in commercial circles of the city as general manager of the Lewis E. Sands Company, a member of the Gerald Hulett Merchandise Brokerage Company and vice president of the Hulett Realty Company. He was born in this city December 18, 1889, a son of Orren S. and Antoinette (Bassett) Hulett, who are natives of Oakland county, Michigan. The father was born at Milford in 1850, while the mother's birth occurred at Novi. In 1880 they took up their residence in Detroit and the father became a traveling salesman for the D.M. Ferry Seed Company, representing that firm on the road for a period of more than thirty-five years. He is now living retired at Novi, in the enjoyment of a well earned rest. The mother is also living. To their union four children were born, namely: John B., whose home is in New York city; Max, a prominent attorney of Detroit; Mrs. Helen Searle, a resident of Portsmouth, Ohio; and Gerald.
