JAMES TAYLOR, JR.
James Taylor, Jr., vice president and treasurer of the Twin City Tile & Marble
Company, is one of the most successful business men of Minneapolis. He was born
in England and in the acquirement of his early education attended the common
schools of his native country and came to America in 1890, at the age of fifteen
years. For twenty years or more he was connected with the tile and marble
business in St. Paul and in 1910, in partnership with two other prominent
business men, he established the Twin City Tile & Marble Company, of which he
was secretary-treasurer. Subsequently he became vice president and treasurer, in
which capacities he is now serving. On the 9th of March, 1911, the company was
incorporated for fifty thousand dollars and its capital is now one hundred
thousand dollars. The Twin City Tile & Marble Com­pany has a large plant at No.
219-21 Island avenue East. They are contractors and jobbers and manufacturers of
tile and marble and also install their products. Mr. Taylor is well fitted to
meet the demands made upon him by his responsible position, and he has been a
dominant factor in the continued success of the company.
Mr. Taylor married Miss Mabel Laura Castle and to their union six children have
been born: James C., William R., Mabel L., Gertrude, Kenneth and Howard. Mrs.
Taylor is a woman of much personal charm and she is socially prominent.
