GRANVILLE T. STOREY
Among the energetic and far-sighted
business men of Stockton may be found Granville T. Storey, the efficient
manager of the Peoples Finance and Thrift Company, a loan institution of
Stockton, being appointed to this office on November 8, 1921, by the board of
directors. He was born is Starkville,
Mississippi, in March 18, 1884. Later
his parents removed to Texas and still later to Arkansas, where Granville T.
attended the public schools and later entered the Spear-Langford Military
College in Arkansas. Upon reaching young
manhood, and after finishing his schooling, he returned to Dallas, Texas, and
became the assistant cashier in the Santa Fe freight office, later entering the
real estate and insurance business, in which line he proved his worth. In 1909 he removed to Stockton and became
associated with the Lee C. Reid Real Estate Company, later establishing his own
business. He then formed a partnership
with J. P. Triolo, and for three years they continued in business together,
when Mr. Storey became associated with the California Bean Growers
Association. He was the founder of the
Ford Federated Factors office in Stockton.
His years of experience and careful intelligent study of the real estate
business has made him an authority on land values. He is now engaged in handling real estate and
in building homes, and is meeting with his usual success. He has already erected over fifty homes in
various parts of the city.
The marriage of Mr. Storey united
him with Miss Eva M. Hulen, a native of Placer
County, California. Free from
ostentation and display, he has nevertheless come to the front in connection
with the business interests and public life of Stockton and San Joaquin County,
and is doing much to shape public opinion and thought, his activities always
contributing to progress and improvement.
