FRANK B. HUDSPETH
FRANK B. HUDSPETH.--Only those persons
sorely in need of finding proper, congenial and profitable employment, and
particularly those who know from bitter experience how often it is next to
impossible for the individual, operating alone, to establish a worth-while
connection, can realize what a boon to many the Enterprise Labor Agency has
proven since it was established, in 1921, by Frank B. Hudspeth and Louis Heldoorn. Mr.
Hudspeth was born at San Francisco, on August 26, 1888,
the son of John Hudspeth, who had come to California
the year before. Mrs. Hudspeth died when
our subject was a babe; and now Mr. Hudspeth is deceased. Both had many friends, the result of high
qualities and their appreciation by others.
Frank
B. Hudspeth profited by the good courses of instruction in the schools of San
Francisco, and then worked at various occupations, including real
estate and newspaper work in San Francisco; and in
October, 1919, he first settled in Sacramento. Two years later, on April 27, he and Mr. Heldoorn founded the Enterprise Labor Agency at 901
Second Street.
The methods adopted by the managers, their fair and square way of
dealing with both employer and would-be employe,
their personal interest and eagerness to assist in solving problems to the
mutual satisfaction of all concerned—these attributes have contributed to that
popularity which inevitably spells material success. The firm moved to the present address, at 129
J Street, October 20, 1922. Since November 10, 1922, Frank B. Hudspeth
has been, and is sole proprietor, and the present firm name is the Enterprise
Employment Office. Mr. Hudspeth is a
Knight of Pythias.
