ARNOLD R. BEAN
 
            The spirit of self-reliance, a hopeful disposition, intelligence and 
ambition were the youthful patrimony of Arnold R. Bean; and the years have 
chronicled his growing success, bringing him at length to a position among the 
leading business men of Hammonton.  He is one of California�s native sons and 
was born in Browns Valley, Yuba County, June 22, 1898, his parents being Fred 
and Elizabeth Ann (Price) Bean, the former a native of Maine and the latter of 
New York.  The father came to California about 1870 and first engaged in the 
livery business, later conducting a meat market.  He is now engaged in the 
live-stock business and resides in Nevada County, Cal.  He is about seventy 
years of age and the mother is also living.  Two sons have been born to them, 
Arnold R. and Everett Irwin.
            Mr. Bean obtained his public school education at Hammonton and a 
course in the Marysville Business College prepared him for commercial life.  
When eighteen years of age he started in the teaming business and later 
established a coal and wood yard at Hammonton, which he has since conducted.  He 
employs progressive methods in the management of his business, is reasonable in 
his prices and prompt in filling orders.  Therefore his trade is a large and 
growing one, for the public has found that he is a man to be trusted.  He also 
has a forty-acre ranch situated four miles from Marysville, on the Hammonton 
road, on which he raises grain, but he intends to convert his place into an 
alfalfa ranch in the near future.  Mr. Bean built a beautiful country home upon 
his forty-acre tract on the Marysville-Hammonton road in 1923.  His mother 
presides over his household and they are now happily and comfortably domiciled 
there.
            Mr. Bean is a member of Marysville Parlor, No. 6, N.S.G.W., and his 
political support is given to the Republican party.  He is a typical young man 
of the present age, alert, energetic and progressive, and judging from the 
marked success which has already attended his efforts, his future career will be 
well worth the watching.  He is interested in civic advancement, cooperating 
heartily in all movements that he believes will promote the permanent interests 
of his community, and stands high in the regard of all who know him.
