CHARLES N. MARQUEZ, Merchant. Profoundly impressed by the business district of 
New York City and by the vastness of its commercial operations, Charles N. 
Marquez, merchant and an officer or director of several large Honolulu 
mercantile concerns, returned from a trip to New York in 1908 earnestly 
determined to enter business for himself in Honolulu.
  At that time Mr. Marquez was a clerk in the Bank of Hawaii, and he confided 
his ambition to the late C. M. Cooke, president of the bank, who offered to 
assist and loaned him sufficient capital to organize the Office Supply Co., 
the first concern of its kind in the Territory, and of which he is the 
president and principal owner.
  The company prospered, and the commercial interests of Mr. Marquez expanded 
until today he is president of the Honolulu Paper Co., Ltd., which he 
organized in 1918; president of the Oahu Sporting Goods Co., and a director of 
the Bergstrom Music Co., Ltd.
  Public service has also claimed Mr. Marquez. In 1917 he was a member of the 
territorial legislature, being chairman of the educational committee.
  He is a Mason, a past eminent commander of Knights Templar, a 32nd degree 
Scottish Rite Mason, a Shriner and a member of the Hawaiian Civic Club, 
Chamber of Commerce, Commercial, Ad and Oahu Country Clubs, Order of 
Kamehameha, and Independent Order of Foresters, Court Lunalilo, No. 6600. He 
is also a life member of the Queen’s Hospital.
  Mr. Marquez was born in Kau, Hawaii, Nov. 8, 1881, the son of F. D. A. 
Marquez. He was educated at St. Louis College, Honolulu, the Royal School, 
Honolulu High School and Heald’s Business College, San Francisco. He began 
work for the Oahu Railway & Land Co., and held positions with the Robert 
Grieve Publishing Co. and C. J. Hutchins before entering the Bank of Hawaii, 
where he spent four years.
  In 1909 he married Leonora Kamanele Rosewarne in Honolulu and they have one 
son, Charles N. Marquez, Jr.
