HAROLD HUGH ROBINSON
HAROLD HUGH ROBINSON.--Already eminent
in the financial world of northern California, Harold
Hugh Robinson, the well-known and popular cashier of the Merchants National
Bank of Sacramento, exerts an
enviable influence for sane development and steady progress. He was born in Stockton,
on December 10, 1890, and his father was Hugh W. Robinson, a business man of Sacramento,
in which city the family had settled twenty-six years ago. He married Miss Adelheid
Hill, the devoted mother of our subject, who favored his grammar and high
school training, and inspired him to study law, first having him become a law
stenographer. Finance and not legal
lore, however, was destined to attract him.
He began with the Fort Sutter National Bank as a collector, and
gradually advanced through the various departments, until he was made first
assistant cashier. J. H. Stephens was
vice-president of the Fort Sutter National Bank, and on January 3, 1921, they
organized this later institution, opening it formally on that day. On November 28, 1921, they commenced their
own bank building, and now they have one of the handsomest bank-homes in the
city.
At
Sacramento, on June 16, 1915, Mr.
Robinson and Miss Grace Green became man and wife; and
now Harold H. Robinson, Jr., makes the third member of the happy family
circle. Mr. Robinson belongs to the
Chamber of Commerce, and through many other organized channels, and is a stanch
Republican. He is also a Knight Templar
and a Shriner
