ROBERT HARRISON

 

    ROBERT HARRISON, an attorney, though a comparatively young man, has been a member of the San Francisco bar for nearly a quarter of a century.  He is a native of the Empire State, born at Newburg on the Hudson, received his education and studied law in his native State, and was admitted to the bar.  He came to the Pacific coast in 1867, and for more than twenty-four years has successfully practiced law in the city, State and Federal Courts, giving his attention to general civil practice.  He was appointed special United States Attorney and held that position several years.  He is not an office-seeker, but interested in good government, devoting his time to his profession.
