years ago he removed with his parents to San Jose and entered the High
School, from which he graduated in 1883, afterward attending the
University. His first business experience was with A.A. Sage, formerly
a well-known grocer of this city, and since that time he has occupied
various responsible position, being at one time connected with the
Mercury. Mr. Alexander opened the books for the Central Milling Company
at the time of its organization in 1887, and has since been a
confidential employee of the corporation. He has entire charge of the
city trade, and the business of the adjoining territory, and by his
careful attention to the wants of his customers and his uniform
courtesy to all those with whom he comes in contact, he has done much
toward building up the spendid business of the City Mills. Mr.
Alexander was married to Miss Edith Cory, daughter of Dr. Benjamin
Cory, in December 1890. He has the esteem and confidence of a large
circle of prominent business men, and his future prospects are most
flattering.
