ALBERT STEINFELD
History of Arizona, 1896

Albert Steinfeld is a native of Hanover, Germany, born December 
23, 1854.  He came to America with his parents when eight years 
old and received a thorough education in New York City, where he 
made his home until 1871.  For two years he was employed in the 
wholesale dry goods house of George Bliss and Company, and later 
with Eldridge, Dunham and Company, now Dunham, Buckley and 
Company, first in the office and later in the hosiery department 
of said concern.  From there he went to Denver, accepting a 
position in the dry goods house of his uncle, Charles Ballin, 
but made his way to Tucson in January 1872, entering the employ 
of his uncles, A. and L. Zeckenorf.  

In 1878 he was admitted as a partner in the present firm and 
has since had the management of the business at this point. He 
is a very popular man in the community where he has been known 
from boyhood up, and particularly amongst the business men who 
hold him in very high esteem. He has held many positions of 
public and private trust and is at present president of the 
Chamber of Commerce and Vice-President of the Board of Trade.

Mr. Steinfeld was married on February 15, 1883 to Miss Bettina 
V. Donau of Denver, Colorado and they have three children, 
Lester A., Irene and Harold.
