GEORGE W. PRICE
George W. Price, one of the younger business men of Minneapolis, now identified
with the automobile trade, is a native of this city. He was born on the 15th of
January, 1893, and is the son of George H. and Grace (Murphy) Price, natives of
New Brunswick. An account of his father, for years a prominent lumberman of
Minneapolis, appears elsewhere in this volume. George W. Price attended the
grade schools of his native city and later East high school, following which he
took a two-year academic course at the University of Minnesota. It was during
these college days that Mr. Price was initiated into the brotherhood of Delta
Tau Delta, a college fraternity whose associations continue to be among the most
highly prized in his life.
Mr. Price left college to engage in the farm mortgage business, which he
continued for four years. At the end of that time the United States had joined
in the European war and he entered the government service, giving up his private
business to devote his entire time to this patriotic work. He served in the
capacity of a member of the American Protective League as inspector in the
department in charge of the jail and draft work. Shortly after the cessation of
hostilities the war work of the department of justice, along with that of many
other government departments, was largely curtailed and Mr. Price was among the
workers who were permitted to return to private life.
In March, 1919, Mr. Price purchased the Fashion Garage building at No. 2315
Hennepin avenue and organized the Fashion Garage Company, of which he is the
president and treasurer. Under his direction this concern has had a prosperous
growth and now has an enviable reputation for prompt and reliable service to all
its patrons. Inheriting his father's business acumen, as well as his initiative
and enterprise, Mr. Price can look forward to a prosperous and highly creditable
business career.
Mr. Price was married to Miss Josephine Higgins, a descendant of William
Bradford, one of the Mayflower Pilgrims and the second governor of historic
Plymouth Colony. The Bradford family, one of the most honored of our colonial
families, was first represented in Minnesota by William Bradford, one of the
early settlers in this state. His daughter, Virginia Bradford, was Mrs. Price's
mother. To Mr. and Mrs. Price two children have been born, Josephine and George
W., Jr.
