WILLIAM C. ALLEN.—The history of Imperial County would be incomplete and
unsatisfactory were there failure to make prominent reference to William C.
Allen, who has been manager of the Globe Mills, which control eight warehouses,
seventeen cotton gins, and one oil mill since 1911. Mr. Allen is a man of genial
personality and keen business ability, and is numbered among the representative,
far-sighted and enterprising business men of Southern California. He is a native
San Franciscan, his birth occurring in San Francisco June 17, 1886, a son of
William J. and Louey (Hill) Allen. William C. Allen acquired his education in
the public schools of San Francisco, California. At an early age he started out
in life to make his own livelihood and entered the office of Rosenblatt and
Company as office boy for a period of four years. He then became a clerk in the
Goethe Bank, where he remained until 1908, when he removed to Los Angeles and
became identified with Nordlinger & Son as office manager until he came to El
Centro. He served with his present company as bookkeeper for only one week; when
he was made manager. Fraternally Mr. Allen is a member of the Masonic order, and
belongs to the Shrine, and is also a Native Son.
