Manuel Escalada
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913

Through enterprise, commercial, integrity and business 
ability Manuel Escalada has in the course of twenty three 
years residence in Nogales become one of the most prominent 
business men of the city, where he is associated with his 
brother in the conduct of a leading dry goods establishment.  
He was born in northern Spain, April 11, 1867, and spent his 
childhood in his native country coming to America in 1883 at 
the age of sixteen.  He settled in Brownsville Texas where he 
obtained a position as clerk in a mercantile establishment.  
He proved able, energetic and honorable, retaining his 
position for nine years and during that time saving enough 
money to establish a business of his own.  He came to Nogales 
in 1892 and in partnership with his brother Leo started a 
small general store, which in twenty three years has expanded 
into a large modern establishment.  He is now serving as 
treasurer and a director of the Chamber of Commerce and he 
is also a director of the Nogales Building and Loan Association.

Mr. Escalada was married in Spain, September 27, 1899 to 
Miss Domitila Revuelta, a native of that country and they 
have three children: Joseph, age twelve, Louis, age ten and 
Manuel age eight.
