J. LOEW, 
 
President of the Capitol Milling Company, Los Angeles, was born in Southern 
Germany, June 2, 1847, and was reared and received his education there. Upon
reaching manhood, in 1867, he emigrated to America, took a commercial college 
course in New York City and lived there until the following year, when he came 
to the Pacific Coast. After spending a short time in San Francisco and also in 
San Diego, he came to Los Angeles and for a number of years was engaged in 
merantile business until the organization of the Capitol Milling Company in 
1882. Since then, as president of the company, he has been the head of its 
affairs; and it is owing to his able management and his large practical 
commercial experience that the business of the company has been so successful, 
and its affairs in such prosperous condition. Mr. Loew is always courteous, 
enjoys an enviable reputation in commercial and financial circles, and is 
actively identified with all the progressive interests of the city and county. 
In August, 1885, Mr. Loew was united in marriage with Miss Emily Newmark, a 
native of Los Angeles and daughter of H. Newmark, an old and honored resident of 
this city, and for many years one of the largest and most prominent wholesale 
merchants in this State. Mr. and Mrs. Loew have one daughter, Rose.
