        Among the young men of Visalia who occupy prominent positions in 
business circles is Emil Deppe, Jr., assistant manager of the Visalia Meat 
Company. He was born in Germany on April 16, 1901, but when still very young he 
was brought to the United States by his parents, Emil F. and Doris (Keine) 
Deppe. He was educated in the public schools of Tipton and Visalia, California, 
and upon leaving school entered the employ of the Visalia Meat Company, of which 
his father was the founder and is still the active manager. A description of 
this company will be found in the sketch of Emil F. Deppe on another page of 
this work.
When the company was first incorporated on June 26, 1921, young Deppe was made 
assistant manager. Although not yet twenty-one years old, he entered upon his 
duties with such earnestness and intelligence that he made good. In the 
reorganization of the company in 1924 he was continued in the position�an 
evidence that his work was entirely satisfactory to the directors and 
stockholders.
        Mr. Deppe is a republican in his political affiliations and takes a 
reasonable interest in public questions, particularly those affecting the 
welfare of Visalia and Tulare county. While he is fond of fishing and hunting, 
the requirements of the Visalia Meat Company are his first consideration, hence 
he never neglects his business for the pastime of the rod or gun. He married 
Miss Sarah Clore, who was born in Visalia, and they have one son, Harold 
Frederick.
