WILLIAM C. ALLEN. - The history of Imperial County would be incomplete and unsatisfactory were there failure
to make prominent reference to William C. Allen, who has been manager of the Globe Mills, which control eight warehouses,
seventeen cotton gins, and one oil mill since 1911. Mr. Allen is a man of genial personality and keen business
ability, and is numbered among the representative, far sighted and enterprising business men of Southern California.
He is a native San Franciscan, his birth occurring in San Francisco June 17, 1886, a son of William J. and Louey
(Hill) Allen. William C. Allen acquired his education in the public schools of San Francisco, California. At an
early age he started out in life to make his own livelihood and entered the office of Rosenblatt and Company as
office boy for a period of four years. He then became a clerk in the Goethe Bank, where he remained until 1908,
when he removed to Los Angeles and became identified with Nordlinger & Son as office manager until he came
to El Centro. He served with his present company as bookkeeper for only one week, when he was made manager. Fraternally
Mr. Allen is a member of the Masonic order, and belongs to the Shrine, and is also a Native Son.
