MATTHIAS DANY is the fashionable merchant tailor of Red Bluff. He is a native of
Austria, born February 18, 1859. His father, Matthias Dany, Sr., was a native of
Bohemia, and his mother was an Austrian. Mr. Dany's parents were farmers and to
that life he was reared. He received his education in his native town, learned
his trade, and then spent three years and two months as a soldier in the
Austrian army. In 1884 Mr. Dany came to New York and worked at his trade in that
city for Delury, a fashionable tailor. He then went to Boston, where he
continued work at his trade, getting an insight into the best methods of making
fashionable clothing in the most fashionable cities of the United States.

  In September, 1885, he came to San Francisco and soon afterward located in
Chico, where he worked a year. He came to Red Bluff in 1886 and established
himself in business here on Main street. He employs four first-class workers in
his tailor shop and does the leading business in the city. He was burned out in
the beginning of the present year (1890), but he established himself in another
building the same day.

  Mr. Dany is a member of the I. O. O. F. He is a go-ahead and enterprising
business man and takes an interest in the affairs of the city and State of his
adoption.
