D.A. Raybould

 

     One of San Mateo County's newcomers who has risen to a place of esteem in the community is D.A. Raybould of the San Francisco Chronicle.  Mr. Raybould is known in all parts of the county as one of its wideawake, energetic young men who has at heart the welfare of the county as well as the interests of his paper.

 

     During the few years that Mr. Raybould has represented the Chronicle in San Mateo county he has enjoyed a reputation for fairness.  His news articles have kept the peninsula cities in the foreground and not a day passes that some section of the county is not exploited in the San Francisco press.

 

     A few years ago Mr. Raybould wrote the Peninsula Polo Annual, a history of the sport of kings in the county.  Through this book which was distributed among all the leading clubs of the East, California polo received a great deal of recognition.

 

     Mr. Raybould was born in Salt Lake City, September 12, 1888.  He received his early education in the Salt Lake schools.  He completed his education at the Universtiy of Utah.  After leaving college Mr. Raybould connected with the leading journals of Utah.  Since coming to California in 1911 Mr. Raybould has been with the San Francisco Chronicle.

 

     Mr. Raybould belongs to the Owl and Key and the Skull and Bones of the University of Utah, the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, the Ophite club of San Francisco, the Peninsula Club of San Mateo and the San Mateo Chamber of Commerce.
