FRANK BYRON MOSIER
FRANK BYRON MOSIER.--Among the most enterprising of all industrial operators in and around the California capital, Messrs. Mosier & Son, housemovers, so ably represented by Frank Byron Mosier, enjoy an increasing patronage. Frank B. Mosier was born at Lake City, Minn., on February 5, 1883, the son of Doran H. and Leora (Penbrook) Mosier, the former an experienced house-mover, for over forty years, twenty-nine of which were passed prosperously in Minneapolis, before, he came out to California and Sacramento, in 1912. He has been here long enough, however, to become closely identified, in his special field, with the development of this, the most favored section of the Golden State; and they have done work in all the northern California counties as well as in the Santa Clara Valley.
Frank Mosier attended the public schools in Minnesota, and then joined his father in house-moving in Minneapolis. No job has ever been too big for them, and they have tackled some hard tasks. Not only are they among the most experienced in their line along the entire Pacific Coast, but they have always been progressive enough to provide themselves, notwithstanding the heavy cost at times, with the best equipment obtainable, thereby assuring their own and their employees' lives and safety, and the best-finished, quickest jobs possible. More than that, they have tried, whenever it was desirable, to make the most artistic result out of the whole undertaking, and also to cause the least disturbance or inconvenience to anyone.
In April, 1922, Mr. Mosier was married to Miss Gertrude Bridges, a native of Minnesota, the ceremony taking place at Sacramento. Mrs. Mosier shares with her husband his liking for travel by motor, and for the pleasures of outdoor life. To keep abreast of the times, Mr. Mosier belongs to the Builders' Exchange. In politics he is a Democrat.
