JOHN EHRLICH is a man of broad, conservative views. He is one of the influential
citizens of the county and is the owner of the Magnolia store, at Magnolia, near
Brawley, California. Mr. Ehrlich came to Imperial County, April 4, 1914, and was
born in Transylvania, February 7, 1885. He received his early education in his
native country, coming to the United States in the year 1909. Upon his arrival
here, Mr. Ehrlich took pains to complete his education through his individual
efforts and without the assistance, either financial or otherwise, of anyone.
Later he started to farm at Corona, California, until he left for Pasadena,
where he did landscape gardening successfully. Still later he followed teaming
for two and one-half years, following which venture he came to Brawley, having
been engaged prior thereto by Dr. William Brill of Los Angeles as a ranch hand.
Having keen business foresight, Mr. Ehrlich engaged with the South Mercantile
Company of Alamorio for about two years and later went in with R. W. Maddox at
the Magnolia store. In this pursuit Mr. Ehrlich was doubly successful. Business
continued good and Mr. Ehrlich purchased Mr. Maddox's share on December 20,
1917, and is now the sole proprietor. In conjunction with his business
undertaking, the subject of this review is farming 140 acres of land which is
highly cultivated property. Mr. Ehrlich received his citizenship papers May 26,
1917, and is registered as a staunch Republican. Fraternally he is a Joeman. Mr.
Ehrlich was married in Los Angeles, September 6, 1916, to Miss Mary Drolleff,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Drolleff of Transylvania. The father of Mrs.
Ehrlich is buried in his native country. The mother resides at that place. To
this union has been born one child—Dorothea Elizabeth—born December 29, 1917, at
Brawley, California. Mr. Ehrlich is in every sense of the word a self-made man,
as it has been primarily through his energy and progressive foresight that he
has achieved success.
