        George Maggio, an enterprising and prosperous representative of business 
interests in Alameda county, has since 1906 been manager of the Oakland branch 
of the Western California Fish Company. His birth occurred in San Francisco, 
California, in November, 1876, his parents being Fortuno and Eleanor Maggio. The 
father became a resident of San Francisco in 1852 and was there engaged in the 
fish supply business until the time of his retirement in 1904.
        George Maggio remained a public-school student until fifteen years of 
age and subsequently spent nine months in Heald's Business College. He then 
embarked in the fish business in San Francisco and conducted an independent 
enterprise of that character until 1906, when he consolidated his interests with 
those of the Western California Fish Company, becoming manager of its Oakland 
branch. He has held that important position throughout the intervening seven 
years and has promoted the success of the local establishment in no uncertain 
degree.
        On the 30th of April, 1898, in San Francisco, Mr. Maggio was united in 
marriage to Miss Chlotilde Franchi, by whom he has three children: Eleanor, Alma 
and Maria. The two first named are public-school students. In politics Mr. 
Maggio is a republican, while his religious faith is that of the Catholic 
church. He belongs to Piedmont Parlor of the Native Sons and is likewise 
identified with the Loyal Order of Moose and the National Union. In all the 
relations of life he has been honorable and straightforward, and his example is 
well worthy of emulation.
