EMIL M. DEAN, one of the young business men of Redding, Shasta County,
California, was born in Goodhue County, Minnesota, July 5, 1865. His father,
Jobn Dean, a native of Germany, came to the United States in 1860 and settled in
Minnesota, where his son Emil was born. Young Dean received his education in his
native place and there learned the trade of sash and door manufacturer. When he
was sixteen years of age he was induced to go with a theatre company, who
rendered what is called low comedy, and remained with them three seasons. At the
end of that time he became foreman for Taylor, Madison & Co., of Minneapolis,
manufacturers of doors, sash and blinds, acting in that capacity for five years.
In 1887 he came to California, and ran a sash and door manufactory in Placer
County one year. Then he came to Redding and entered into partnership in the
door, sash and blind business with Mr. Clover and Mr. Taylor. A year later
Messrs. Dean & Taylor bought out Mr. Clover's interest, and the firm is now
Taylor & Dean. They built their present planing mill and barley crusher in 1890.
They are doing a good business and their trade extends over many of the counties
of Northern California.

  June 18, 1889, Mr. Dean patented a machine of his own invention to be used in
the manufacture of screens and screen doors. It is a small staple driver. The
machine is filled with staples, is self-feeding, and drives a staple every blow.
It shows the inventive genius of Mr. Dean's mind, and is a great time-saving
machine.

  Mr. Dean is a K. of P., and an active member of the I. O. O. F. In politics he
affiliates with the Democratic party.
