When the Visalia Land & Investment Company was formed in 1911, Frank Carson 
became identified with it and is now the company�s general manager.  He was born 
in the Dominion of Canada, April 23, 1872.  While he was still in his early 
childhood his parents, James and Annie Carson, removed to the state of Maine.  
There he was educated in the public schools and upon arriving at manhood�s 
estate started out to seek his fortune.  For several years he followed the 
occupation of miner in different parts of the country and came to California 
about the beginning of the present century.  In 1909 he located in Visalia and 
two years later took a position with his present company, in which he has 
demonstrated his executive ability.
 
Although born a British subject, Mr. Carson is now a citizen of the United 
States.  As an adherent to democratic principles he takes an interest in all 
subjects of a public nature, though he has never been an active politician.  He 
is a member of the Visalia Kiwanis Club and the Benevolent Protective Order of 
Elks, in both of which he is deservedly popular because of his manly conduct and 
genial good fellowship.  He is unmarried and finds his recreation in hunting and 
fishing, pastimes of which he is especially fond.
