CHARLES DOWNING.—While not a resident of Imperial County for as long a period as
some, Charles Downing has met with a large measure of success since coming to
this locality. He is now at the head of the Calexico store of the H. P. Fites
Company, of which he is the manager. This concern has grown to be one of the
city's leading enterprises. In the Fites store may be found a well chosen stock
of farm machinery of the latest and most highly improved type. The store also
carries a complete line of harness and has the agency for the J. I. Case
tractors and threshers. Everything that goes to make up a first-class
establishment can be found here. Mr. Downing was born in Johnson County,
Missouri, February 17, 1884. He acquired his education in the public schools.
Finishing his education he engaged in farming for himself in Missouri and
Oklahoma. In 1913 Mr. Downing came to California and located in El Centro, where
he worked for the Delta Implement Company for a period of four years. He then
became connected with his present concern, of which he is local manager in
Calexico. Fraternally Mr. Downing is a member of the Modern Woodmen.
