CHARLES LEHMAN
CHARLES LEHMAN.--A man who is always to
be found among the leaders in any progressive public project, is Charles
Lehman, an able, successful and far-sighted business man of Sacramento,
who is one of the owners of the National Employment Agency, located at 926-930
Second Street. He was born in New York City,
N.Y., in 1879, a son of Max and Clara
Lehman. When Charles was a baby of one year, his parents migrated to California
and the father engaged in business in San Francisco
and he still makes his home in that city.
Charles
Lehman received his education in the grammar and high schools of San
Francisco; and after his graduation from the latter
institution in 1896, he then entered the employ of a wholesale produce
house. He thereafter continued in this line of business until he
established his own produce business in San Francisco,
which he operated for five years, when he sold out and engaged in the
employment business. In 1916 he organized the National Employment Agency
in Sacramento. Practically
every day he is sending out from 100 to 150 men in various occupations, such as
ranching, lumbering, teaming, mining, industrial and large construction
projects, all over the state of California and southern Oregon. The
National Employment Agency has grown to be the largest business of its kind in
the Sacramento Valley.
Mr.
Lehman is married and has two children, Claire and Richard. He is a
Republican in national politics.
