HERMAN ANTHOLZ.—As an extensive cotton broker of Imperial Valley, Herman Antholz
is actively and prominently associated with one of the most profitable
industries of California, and may well be classed as one who is contributing his
full share towards the advancement of the state's best interests. Mr. Antholz is
recognized as one of the most substantial and influential business men of
Calexico. He is a native of Bremen, Germany, and was born October 1, 1884, son
of August and Lina Antholz. The subject of this review acquired his education in
the schools of Germany and France. Completing his studies in the latter country
he returned to his native city and there became identified with the cotton
business where he remained eight years. Returning to France, he was engaged in
the same business for three years. He made various, trips to England and in
1909, he came to America and located in Decatur, Alabama, where he was also
interested in the cotton business. Mr. Antholz spent five summers in New York
City, and in 1914, he came to California and located in Calexico, where he
maintains spacious offices and deals in cotton. He ships extensively all over
the United States and to the Orient. On an average he handles twelve thousand
bales annually. Mr. Antholz was united in marriage to Miss Maud Hackey Haskell,
a native of Los Angeles, California, March 3, 1917. Her ancestors are from
colonial stock and among the prominent families of New England. To Mr. and Mrs.
Antholz has been born one daughter, Jane, born November 10, 1917. Mr. Antholz
has carried on successful agricultural operations in Lower California, but has
disposed of his holdings and confines his efforts to his lifelong business.
While a student in France, he played three quarters on a college team which on
several occasions played England. He is a progressive citizen in every sense of
the word and gives his support to movements that will better conditions in
Imperial County.
