ALBERT EDWARD SALCEDO
ALBERT EDWARD SALCEDO.—A butcher who
knows the ins and outs of the varied trade, and who has made more and more of a
success of both the retailing and the wholesaling of meat, is Albert Edward Salcedo, a native of San Francisco,
but now extending the commercial fame of Perkins. He was born on June 26,
1877, the son of Stephen and Carmelita Salcedo, the
former a physician who settled in California
in the early fifties. He is remembered as an untiring and exceptionally able
practitioner who alleviated the sufferings, and prolonged the lives of many.
Following
his early application to study in the San Francisco
schools, Albert Edward Salcedo spent five years at Santa
Clara University,
and among other subjects, he took bookkeeping. Then he farmed for a number
of years, and after that he was in Spreckels’ Market
in San Francisco, and learned there
the butcher business.
First,
he went to Freeport, and took
charge of the post-office; and while there for five years as a butcher, was
also deputy constable. As a popular butcher, he was first at the corner of
Tenth and J Streets, and then at the corner of Tenth and N Streets; and for
several years he was a hop inspector, on share basis. He next went to
Yolo, contracting, and farmed to hay, grain and hops; then he contracted
plowing with tractors. Six years ago he opened his present shop at Perkins, and
the satisfaction he has always given the community has enabled him not only to
continue there, but to continue to increase the volume of business he
does. He belongs to the farm bureau and to the Grange, in both of which
organizations he is seeking to forward California
agriculture generally.
The
marriage of Mr. Salcedo and Miss Emma Smith, of Denver,
occurred at San Francisco, in the
year, 1890, and has been productive of an interesting family, two boys and four
girls. In politics, Mr. Salcedo is an
Independent.
