JONES,
GARFIELD R., Attorney,
Mr. Jones’ preliminary education was received in Evanston, and by many years of foreign travel. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1902, receiving the degree of LL.B., Cum Laude, and the following year he received the degree of LL.M., Magna Cum Laude. While at Yale he was an editor of Yale Law Journal and Joseph Parker Roman Law Essayist for 1903.
He did not engage in practice until 1904. He was then employed as special attorney by the International Harvester Company to act for its several subsidiary companies and to attend to the interstate relations of the parent corporation.
In January, 1907, Mr. Jones severed his connection with the Harvester Company and went to Pasadena, where he formed a law partnership with J. P. Wood, who later became a Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. This firm was dissolved in September, 1907, and Mr. Jones practiced alone until February, 1912, when he formed another partnership with James S. Bennett, which continues to date.
Besides his law practice, Mr. Jones has other interests, including the Pan-American Hardwoods Company and the Realty Investors Company of Southern California. He is a Director in both.
He is a member of the Yale Law Society of Corbey Court, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the Graduates Club of New Haven, Conn.; Overland Club, Pasadena; Los Angeles Athletic Club, Annandale and Midwick Country Clubs of Los Angeles and Pasadena.
