GEORGE A. GONSALVES, Commission Merchant. George A. Gonsalves, broker and 
commission merchant of Honolulu, located at 204 James Campbell building, began 
his business career in 1903 with Gonsalves & Co., Ltd., established by his 
father, M. A. Gonsalves, in 1883. He remained with the firm until 1917, the 
last eight years in the capacity of secretary, and joined Fred L. Waldron, 
Ltd., in 1918. He was with that firm for a year and in 1920 went to the coast 
and was employed by the Pasadena Grocery and Department Store. The following 
year he established a commission business in Honolulu and has since conducted 
it with marked success.
  Mr. Gonsalves was born in Honolulu, June 6, 1885, the son of M. A. and 
Margaret (Vierra) Gonsalves.
  His father was a pioneer business man and a prominent resident of Honolulu 
for almost forty years. M. A. Gonsalves arrived here in 1879, making the long 
voyage around Cape Horn from his birthplace, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. He 
founded the firm of M. A. Gonsalves & Co. and was its president until his 
death in 1918. The elder Gonsalves was a member of the Advisory Council of the 
Provisional Government of Hawaii immediately after the overthrow of the 
monarchy, and was a charter member of the Lusitana Society and Court Camoes of 
the Foresters.
  George A. Gonsalves was educated at the old Kahumanu School, St. Louis 
College, Honolulu High School and Redding School in San Francisco. On April 
10, 1915, he married Ella Marie Rath. They have two children, George A., Jr., 
and Mae Jean.
