OTTO ARNO BIERBACH, Business Man. After being engaged for thirty-six years in 
the drug business on the mainland and in Honolulu, Otto A. Bierbach sold his 
Honolulu store in 1923 to Benson, Smith & Co., Ltd., and became associated 
with the New York Life Insurance Co., for which he is now an agent. He is also 
treasurer of F. A. Smith & Co., a new Honolulu concern, importers of lumber, 
lime, cement, flour and other products, which he joined on Jan. 1, 1925.
  Mr. Bierbach followed his profession as a pharmacist in Wisconsin, 
Washington, Oregon and California until 1897, when he came to Honolulu and 
took a position with the Hoburn Drug Co. Three years later he bought an 
interest in the Honolulu Drug Co., disposing of it in 1903 and purchasing the 
Chambers Drug Co., which he managed until his retirement from the drug 
business. He was interested in theatrical concerns, being a member of the firm 
operating the former Park theater, and one of the organizers and first 
treasurer of the People’s Theater Co., which began the erection of the New 
Princess Theater.
  Mr. Bierbach was secretary of the Merchants’ Association of Honolulu in 
1913, vice-president in 1914 and was one of the organizers and first vice-
president of the Rotary Club. He is a Mason, Shriner and a member of the Oahu 
Country Club.
  Born in Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 17, 1867, he is the son of Otto and Louisa 
(Herbst) Bierbach. He attended the public schools of Milwaukee and Madison, 
Wis., took a course in the Madison Business College, and was granted his Ph. 
G. in 1887 by the University of Wisconsin. In 1895 he married Laura Augusta 
Heilbron of Astoria, Ore., and they have one daughter, Mrs. Herbert Cullen of 
Honolulu.
