-------------------------

SCOTT F. ENNIS.—A very efficient executive, whose experience has proven of great value to other concerns besides that which he has the honor to represent, is Scott F. Ennis, the president of the Pacific Fruit Exchange of Sacramento. He was born in San Francisco on August 15, 1872, the son of William H. Ennis, a native of Washington,
D. C. He came to the Coast at the close of the Civil War, and after he had settled in California, Miss Susan D. Coates arrived, from Louisiana, and they were married in San Francisco. When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Ennis enlisted in the United States navy; and he did patriotic service in behalf of the preservation of the Union. Both parents, honored through the record of their useful lives, are now deceased.
Scott F. Ennis attended the schools of San Francisco and Sacramento, the family removing to the capital when William H. Ennis was made deputy surveyor general. He was then fifteen years old, and he went to the high school, later attending a business college. His first work for wages was in the service of the Capital Packing Company, and then he was with Hale Bros. In their county auditing department. After that, he was with Messrs. Waterhouse and Lister, and next with Henderson, Brown & Company. In time, he brought out Mr. Henderson, and the firm became the Ennis-Brown Company, with headquarters at 100-110 J Street. This firm has been in business for twenty-two years, and is very properly regarded as one of the most progressive and representative business concerns in northern California. Mr. Ennis belongs to the United Commercial Travelers.
Public-spirited to a high degree, Mr. Ennis served as a volunteer in the state militia for eight years. At the age of twenty-one, he was sent to the California state legislature as a member of the assembly, to represent the southern half of Sacramento. He is a Republican in matters of national import, but too broad-minded to allow partisan ship to interfere with his whole-hearted support of things local. He belongs to the Native Sons of the Golden West, is a Mason and a Knight Templar, a Shriner and a member of the Scottish Rite, and also an Elk; and he belongs to the Sutter and the Del Paso County Clubs. He was active in all World War work, and served on all the drives. He is fond of golf, and is also a devotee of horseback riding.
