GREEN ELECTRIC COMPANY
(ALFRED H. GREEN)
The electrical supply business in
Stockton is well represented by the Green Electric Company, which was organized
by Alfred H. Green in March, 1920, with headquarters at 438-1/2 East Market
Street, where a selected line of electrical products are carried, each article
being consistently displayed to the best advantage. A native Californian, he was born at Stockton
April 8, 1900, where he grew up and received his education at St. Mary’s
College in Stockton, remaining in school until he was sixteen years old, when
he began to learn the electrical business.
He was first employed by the Engineering & Supply Company and later
the Commercial Electric Company, both of Stockton; later, he was employed by
the Pacific Portland Cement Company in Solano County, then
went to Porterville, where he was employed by the Ulmer Machinery Company. Deciding to engage in business as an
independent electrical contractor, he returned to Stockton, where two years ago
he opened his own establishment, winning marked success from the start. Among the most outstanding electrical
contracts that Mr. Green has handled are the Portuguese hall, the Barrett
block, C. G. Gall building, and many fine cottages and bungalows in Stockton. His patronage extends to the towns and
communities around Stockton in other directions. All contracts are carried to a satisfactory
completion under the personal supervision of Mr. Green.
The marriage of Mr. Green occurred
in Stockton and united him with Miss Evelyn Snow, born in Stockton and a
descendant of the pioneer family of that name.
Fraternally Mr. Green is affiliated with the Stockton Parlor, N. S. G.
W., No. 7; the Young Men’s Institute, and the Modern Woodmen of the World.
