ALBERT J. KAYSER
Albert J. Kayser has been active in business circles since he was fourteen years
of age and is now engaged in the conduct of Kayser & Company, one of the
repre­sentative enterprises of Minneapolis. Mr. Kayser was born in this city on
the 8th of January, 1877, a son of Emanuel and Anna (Rothschild) Kayser,
extended mention of whom is made on another page of this work.
In the acquirement of his education Albert J. Kayser attended the public schools
of this city and later took a commercial course attending night school. At the
age of fourteen years he became associated with his father in the conduct of
Kayser & Company and there is no phase of the business with which he is not
thoroughly familiar. Upon his father's death he and his brother, Howard, assumed
entire charge of the concern and they are enjoying continued prosperity and
success. Mr. Kayser is a man of untiring energy, is quick of perception, forms
his plans readily and is determined in their execution. It is true that he
became interested in a business already established, but in controlling and
enlarging such an enterprise many a man of even considerable resolute purpose,
courage and industry would have failed. He is, however, enjoying substantial and
well merited success, watching every detail of his business and conducting it on
the highest and most honorable principles.
On the 21st of June, 1911, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Kayser and Miss
Carolyn Stern, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stern of Northfield,
Minnesota. To their union one daughter has been born, Carolyn, who is ten years
of age.
In his political views Mr. Kayser is a republican and although he has never
sought nor desired political preferment, he is active in party affairs and is
conversant on all important questions and issues of the day. Fraternally he is
identified with the Masons, holding membership in Hennepin Lodge, No. 4, and he
is likewise affiliated with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He is an
active member of the Minne­apolis Civic & Commerce Association and socially is
identified with the Minneapolis Athletic Club and the Oakridge Golf Club. Along
strictly business lines he holds membership in the Master Painters' Association.
Mr. Kayser's hobby is touring and fishing and he is actively interested in all
athletic events.
