MEYER
JOHN N. MEYER--Among the financial enterprises in Sacramento, the expansion and development of which have been important elements in general progress, is numbered the Associated Terminals Company, operating the Sacramento dock and warehouse in West Sacramento, of which John N. Meyer is manager. He was born in San Francisco in May, 1874, a son of John N. and Sophie (Stubbs) Meyer; he attended grammar and high school in the bay city, and after finishing his schooling entered the employ of the Santa Fe Railroad Company in the traffic and operating departments; then for six years he was with the Associated Terminals Company in San Francisco and in April, 1918, came to Sacramento as manager of this branch of the company.
The marriage of Mr. Meyer united him with Miss Annie Peterson, of San Jose, Cal., and they are the parents of three children: John G., Doris and Paul. The fraternal relations of Mr. Meyer are confined to the National Union and the Maccabees, and he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Sutter Club of Sacramento. During the Spanish-American War, Mr. Meyer was in the quartermaster’s department of the United States Navy for six months. He is held in high regard by all who know him, for he is honorable and upright in all his dealings with his fellow-men.
