ALFRED GEORGE PICOT.

    Alfred George Picot, an investment broker of Logan, his native city, was
born March 12, 1895, his parents being Alfred and Eda (Mollo) Plcot. The father
was born on the Isle of Jersey, off the coast of Great Britain, and came to the
United States in 1884. He made his way to Logan, and being a man of means, soon
took his place among the leading representatives of business life in this city,
becoming an investment banker. He passed away April 20, 1916. The mother, who
still survives, now makes her home in Los Angeles, California.

    Alfred George Picot was educated in the public schools of Logan and in the
Utah Agricultural College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1913.
He then entered the investment business with his father and upon the latter's
death in 1916 he assumed the management of the business, becoming its head. He
handles loans, life insurance, fire insurance and investment securities and is
bonded abstractor for Cache county. He has gained a large clientage, who
recognize the integrity, progressiveness and enterprise of his business methods
and see in him a worthy successor of his father. He makes loans on farm and city
property and has won for himself an enviable name and place in financial circles
of Logan.

    Mr. Picot is very active in the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. He belongs to the Commercial Boosters Club of Logan and he
gives his political allegiance to the republican party. He is very fond of
motoring and outdoor sports and turns to these for rest and recreation when
business permits. It is true that he entered upon a business already established
but in enlarging and controlling this many a young man of less resolute spirit
and of more limited business sagacity and discernment would have failed.
Steadily, however, has he promoted his interests and he Is fully sustaining the
high reputation which has always figured in business circles in connection with
the name of Picot.
