Patino
Antonio Patino (1922)
Antonio Patino operated his bottling works
from his grocery store at 345 Tenth St. in 1922. Patino was first
listed in the city directories in 1918 as a grocer who maintained his residence
at the same address, probably as a room in back of the store or an apartment
above it. Antonio may have been inspired to enter the bottling business
by Luis Patino, possibly a brother or other relative who worked for Empire
Bottling Works as bottler and inspector in 1915 and 1916 (EPCD 1915-1922). |
