EDWARD A. ANNEREAU
EDWARD A. ANNEREAU.—An expert
technician who is especially well posted as to some of the needs of the
up-to-date motorist, is Edward A. Annereau, the
enterprising proprietor of the shop under his name, so widely known as the best-equipped
headquarters for auto-trimming and painting. A native son of the Golden
State, Mr. Annereau
was born at Pleasant Grove, California,
on October 1, 1876, the son of Thomas James and Sarah (Johnson) Annereau, the former of whom is
still living. These worthy pioneers came to California
when things were still in the making, and often not yet begun, and they found
their highest pleasure in strenuously endeavoring to solve the many problems
confronting the founders of the commonwealth.
Edward
Annereau was six years old when his parents arrived
in Sacramento, where he was to
enjoy his schooling. At any early age, he took up automobile painting and trimming, and when he was able to do so, established himself
in business in San Jose. In
1920, however, despite his success in the old Santa Clara
Valley, he returned to Sacramento,
and here he has maintained a business requiring the services of seven
well-trained assistants. He belongs to the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce
and to the Auto Club of the state, Kiwanis Club and Sacramento Lodge No. 6 of
Elks, and his pride in his shop work stimulates a pride in civic
improvements. He is fond of outdoor life, which is another way of saying
that he is fond of Sacramento County.
When
Mr. Annereau married, in 1911, at San
Francisco, he chose for his bride, Miss Eva Feuillard,
of San Jose; and they have had one
child, Delbert Thomas, to add to their domestic happiness. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Annereau are public-spirited, and rejoice in
seeing this favored part of the state growing so rapidly.
