     CARL J. NEPPACH, who, as secretary and treasurer of the Nicolai-Neppach 
Company, is actively identified with one of Portland's most important 
manufacturing establishments, enjoys a splendid reputation as an alert, 
enterprising and capable business man and is contributing in definite measure 
to the success of this widely known concern. He was born in Portland, Oregon, 
on the 9th of October, 1890, and is a son of John C. and Magdaline 
(Kronenberg) Neppach, the former born in New York city and the latter in 
Oshkosh, Wisconsin. His parents came to Portland about 1871 and here his 
father was engaged in the grain and feed business until 1891, when he moved to 
Oakland, California, where he was engaged in business until his retirement. He 
is now deceased, and his widow resides at Glendale, California.

     Carl J. Neppach received a good public school education in California, to 
which state the family had moved when he was about a year old. In 1910 he 
returned to Portland and entered the employ of the Nicolai-Neppach Company, 
manufacturers of interior woodwork, and has remained with this concern to the 
present time. In 1919 he acquired an interest in the business and since 1921 
has been secretary and treasurer of the company. He is also secretary and 
treasurer of the Emmerson Hardwood Company, of this city.

     In 1916 Mr. Neppach was united in marriage to Mabel Dolores Hall, of 
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and they are the parents of a son, Carl Jr. Mr. 
Neppach is a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of 
Columbus, the Alderwood Country Club, the Ad Club and the Chamber of Commerce. 
He gives his political support to the republican party and is numbered among 
Portland's progressive and public-spirited citizens, standing ready at all 
times to cooperate in the promotion of measures for the betterment of the 
city. A man of strong personality, agreeable manner and constant in his 
friendships, he is deservedly popular and commands the respect of all who know 
him.
