FRANK T. LANGFORD
One of the most progressive young business men of Minneapolis is Frank T.
Lang-ford, electrical contractor. He was born in this city and removed with his
parents to Waverly when but a child. He received his education in that place and
at an early age put his textbooks aside to enter the business world. His first
position was as an oiler in a sawmill and his close application to the thing at
hand, laudable ambition and innate ability, won for him steady advancement. He
worked through all departments of the electrical trade in various places and in
1909 returned to Minneapolis. In 1911 he started into business on his own
account and is now actively engaged in all kinds of electrical construction
work. He has been contractor for many of the fine buildings in and near
Minneapolis, among them the Northwestern Terminal building, Grinnell College,
Iowa, the Inglewood building, the Rhinehart building, the Price Cereal Products
plant, the largest cattle barn in the world at the Minnesota State Fair grounds,
the Green Hotel at St. Cloud, Lawrence Hall at St. John's College, the post
office at Anoka, and many school buildings. There is no phase of the business
with which Mr. Langford is not familiar and he gives personal supervision to all
work. He well merits the success he has achieved and the place he has attained
among this city's most progressive young business men.
Mr. Langford married Miss Ethel E. Conroy, and they have two children: Virginia
Margaret and Ethel Elizabeth. The religious faith of the family is that of the
Roman Catholic church, of which they are consistent communicants. Although the
greater part of Mr. Langford's time is devoted to his business, he is a stanch
supporter of the republican party and actively interested in party councils. He
is essentially a public-spirited citizen and no movement for the development and
improvement of Minneapolis seeks his aid in vain.
