JOHN O'ROURKE
ALAMEDA MARKET, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA
 
Of the firm Scanlan & O'Rourke; was born in San Francisco, September 15, 1862, 
his parents shortly afterward removing to Buffalo, N.Y. Fifteen years ago Mr. 
O'Rourke returned to California, coming directly to San Jose, where he has since 
been engaged in the meat business, the past two years most successfully on his 
own account in partnership with V. D. Scanlan.   Mr. O'Rourke was married in 
1888 and is the proud father of two girls and a fine boy. Both members of the 
firm are shrewd business men, courteous and accommodating, and under their 
management the business of the old-established Alameda Market has been doubled.
