AUGUST A. ARIEY, JR.
The
length of residence in a community is not important to success, but education
and training for the profession, personality and willing assistance are. Although Mr. August A. Ariey, Jr., opened his
law offices at 600 North Garfield in Monterey Park only a few years ago, he has
in a comparatively short period of time achieved an important place in the
legal profession of the community.
August
A. Ariey, Jr., was born in Bakersfield, California, on July 17, 1922, as one of
three children of August A. Ariey, Sr., and Yvonne (Ferrand)
Ariey. Mr.
Ariey Sr., a merchant, settled in Bakersfield in 1907. The first ancestor to make his home in the
United States arrived in San Francisco from France in the 1850’s.
After
receiving his fundamental education in elementary schools in Bakersfield,
August A. Ariey, Jr., graduated with honors from Kern County Union High School

Anna-Marie Louise Ariey is 9, and Philip August Henry Ariey is 6 years
old. The three children go to Saint
Stephens Catholic School, and the Ariey’s are members
of Saint Stephens Catholic Church.
After
his military service overseas, Mr. Ariey, Jr., continued his education at the
University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949. While
in law school in 1950, he was recalled for military service for the Korean
conflict and served until 1951. He

The
