        CAESAR FRANCIS IRSCH. Efficiency is the keynote of success along every 
line. It is the symbol, the co-related sign and working feature of the 
marvelous accomplishments of every age and of all peoples. Without it today 
civilization would never have passed beyond the stage of the cave man. None of 
the learned professions would have been developed from the faint beginning of a 
people striving for mental advancement, nor with the air, the earth, the water 
and even the heavens, above all, be bound together to produce power in place 
for each generation. Halfway methods cannot succeed in anything. To raise 
anything above the low level of mediocrity requires skilled and carefully 
trained knowledge and the power to use this to the highest degree, and to take 
advantage of new inventions and demands. In nothing is this truer than in the 
marvelous development of the automobile industry in all of its various 
branches. The man in this immense industry without efficiency is a dead letter; 
his progress is measured by his lack of this important quality, and his failure 
is a foregone conclusion from the beginning. It is equally true that those who 
do possess it forge rapidly to the front, and this quality is most often to be 
found among the young and enthusiastic. Among those at Tampa who have made a 
name for themselves in this line of business is CAESAR FRANCIS IRSCH, president 
of the Tampa Auto Dealers’ Association and one of the foremost dealers in au
automobiles and accessories in Hillsborough County.
	Mr. Irsch was born at Jersey City, New Jersey, December 14, 1890, a son
of FRANCIS and HENRIETTA (BURGESS) IRSCH, the former of whom was born in the
City of New York and the latter in Switzerland. When he was about 12 years old
CAESAR F. IRSCH was brought to Florida by his parents, who at that time left
New York City where they had been residing, and took up their permanent home at
Tampa. It was in the excellent schools of Tampa that young Irsch gained a
thorough grounding in the fundamentals of an education, he here completing the
studies begun in New York City. He completed the high school course, and then,
with the confidence and determination of youth, went into business for himself,
in 1916, and in spite of the depression in business during the war period, has
succeeded beyond the most hopeful expectations. He is agent in his district for
the Cadillac cars and his volume of business shows a big increase annually.
	On June 27, 1912, Mr. Irsch was united in marriage with ELLEN R. ALLEN, 
a daughter of W. G. ALLEN, of Tampa, and they have two children, namely: ELLEN 
and MARY L. Mr. Irsch is a democrat, and loyal to party affiliations. One of 
the active men of his city, Mr. Irsch is always to be found in the front ranks 
of progress, and was one of the prime movers in affecting the organization of 
the auto dealers into their present association, and is now serving it as 
president. A great booster for the “Greater Tampa,” Mr. Irsch is one who does
something more than enthuse, he works, and makes others do likewise, and the
results are to be seen in many directions. He believes in the future of this
part of Florida, and is willing to do everything within his power to further
advance its interests, to develop its natural resources, and to add to its
improvements.
