MARCUS W. BATES is a man of genial personality and keen business ability. He is
numbered among the representative and enterprising business men of Imperial
County. His birth occurred in Moline, Michigan, April 18, 1878, a son of Ward B.
and Emma Bates. Marcus W. acquired his education in the public schools of his
native town. He was actively engaged in the cantaloupe business in Indiana,
Alabama and Texas, for a period of ten years. Mr. Bates came to California and
to the Imperial Valley in 1907. He followed the cantaloupe business for one year
when he became identified with Edgar Brothers for a time. He then followed
ranching for eighteen months, when he again became connected with Edgar
Brothers. He was manager of the Seeley store for about three years, and in
March, 1915, took the management of the Calexico store. Mr. Bates was united in
marriage to Miss Helen Mach of San Diego, California, February 19, 1915. Mr.
Bates is well and favorably known in the business life of Calexico and Imperial
County, and has gained the good will and esteem of all who have in any way been
associated with him, both in a business and social way.
