L. G. GIROUX, 
 
of Santa Monica, is a native of Cedars, Canada, and came to the United States in 
1855, being then a young man seventeen years of age. For twelve years he engaged 
in mining and commerce, then, in 1875, he came to Santa Monica, and built the 
second house that was erected in that city. This house was on Second street, and 
in it for thirteen years he carried on the liquor and grocery business, under 
the firm name of Giroux & Bro. As a business man Mr. Giroux has been eminently 
successful, and though not professing to be a politician he was elected by the 
Democratic party as supervisor of Los Angeles County, and served in that 
capacity during the years 1883�'84. He is now retired from business, and lives 
on Ninth street, between Oregon and Arizona avenues, in the beautiful "city by 
the sea."
