Iowa State degree and beginnings of his career in real estate

Bert German held an Iowa State degree in Mechanical Engineering (1895). See The Iowa Engineer, vol. 14, p. 67 (found on Google books). This degree had an obvious relevance to his employment with the Iowa Mausoleum Co., a promoter of one very specialized type of concrete structures. He has been cited as active with this firm in 1912; see http://eastsidecemetery.blogspot.com/p/mausoleum.html . Because community mausoleum companies were essentially speculative real estate ventures, that employment suggests itself as the point from which he launched his career as a developer (which the linked obituary says dated from his settling in Des Moines in 1912). Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Iowa_State_University_people (his name is not there...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C7:8A80:4CB7:147A:2CD7:C827:81A3 (talk) 17:45, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
