FREDERICK HENNING
ARTHUR FREDERICK HENNING.--An experienced, far-seeing, and very progressive business man is Arthur Frederick Henning, the accommodating and popular secretary and manager of the Retailers’ Credit Association, Inc. He was born at Chicago, Ill., on September 18, 1890, the son of Fred and Helen Henning, and was a product of the public grammar and high schools, and St. Andrew’s College, where he studied for three years. He also pursued business courses in a commercial college, and after that he was with the Union Bank of Canada, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for four years.
In 1910, Mr. Henning came down to California and Sacramento, and for a season he farmed, and then for three years he was with the Weinstock, Lubin & Company. He it was who originated the plan of the credit organization in Sacramento, and in 1913 he took over the management and built it up. As a result, he is one of the valued and influential members of the Chamber of Commerce in Sacramento, and a member of the Rotary Club. He belongs to the Republican party and supports heartily any legislation favorable to sound trade.
Mr. Henning was married to Miss G.A. Schaden, a native daughter of Sacramento, in 1912, and they now have one child, Lloyd. He is a thirty-second-degree Scottish Rite Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the Sciots. He is the manager of the Sacramento Community Chest for 1923. He is fond of outdoor life, and enjoys the natural advantages of Sacramento County. The local commercial and financial world owes something definite to Mr. Henning for his strenuous and successful work in steadying and expanding trade conditions here, and in working to hasten the day when this highly-favored section will come to its own.
