CHARLES DAY WHITE
One of the foremost business men of Minneapolis is Charles Day White, senior
member of White & MacNaught, Jewelers. A native of Minnesota, his birth occurred
in Brownton, formerly known as Lake Addition, in 1858. His parents, William J.
and Margaret M. (Miles) White were natives of Pennsylvania. In 1855 Mr. and Mrs.
While came to Minnesota and Mr. White engaged in farming until the Indian
outbreaks, when they moved into Glencoe, the father establishing a mercantile
business. In 1880 he came to Minneapolis and became associated with the Deering
Implement Company. His demise occurred in 1907 and his widow survived him until
1921.
In 1875 C. D. White came to Minneapolis and entered the employ of Eustis
Brothers, prominent jewelers, with an establishment in the Nicollet Hotel
building. He remained with that concern twenty-three years, during which time he
took advan­tage of every opportunity offered him to learn the business. In 1897
he became asso­ciated with the S. Jacobs Company and after one and one-half
years in that connection, in 1899, established a business on his own account
under the name of Charles D. White & Company. In 1902 he formed a partnership
with John MacNaught and the name was changed to White & MacNaught, Jewelers. Six
years later the business having grown to such extensive proportions, it was
necessary to move into larger quarters and they located at No. 506 Nicollet
avenue where they remained for fourteen years, and follow­ing the trend of
business have now located at Nicollet and Ninth, having taken a lease for ten
years in the Physicians and Surgeons building, where they now have one of the
most up-to-date jewelry stores in the West. The success Mr. White has achieved
is the result of his own labors and he well merits the confidence and esteem in
which he is held by his fellow citizens. Mr. and Mrs. White reside in their home
at No. 2300 Oliver avenue South.
In his political views Charles Day White is a stanch republican and he is
actively interested in party affairs, being well informed on all important
questions and issues of the day. His religious faith is that of the Episcopal
church, to the support of which he is a generous contributor. He is a member of
the Minneapolis Rotary Club, the Minneapolis Athletic Club and the Automobile
Club, and is a charter member of the Civic & Commerce Association. Along
strictly business lines he holds membership in the Minnesota Retail Jewelers
Association, of which he was president in 1915 and 1517. The greater part of Mr.
White's time and attention is devoted to his business but he finds time to do
some fishing and hunting.
