A. C. SUGG
 
            The well-known stability of California realty, particularly in the 
northern part of the State, is undoubtedly due to the high character, foresight 
and optimism of such brokers as A. C. Sugg, the well-known operator of 606 I 
Street, Marysville.  He is a native of Kentucky, where he was born on a farm on 
April 11, 1881.  He went to school in Kentucky, and after completing his studies 
followed farming for himself in Union County.
            In 1917, Mr. Sugg migrated to the West; and at Marysville he was 
made superintendent of the Jackson-Diggs ranches, comprising some 6000 acres 
devoted to the raising of beans, rice and grain, and located in both Sutter and 
Butte Counties, the greater part of the acreage being in the Sutter Basin.  He 
then bought a ranch of forty-four acres at Franklin, in Sutter County, set out 
to one-year-old Thompson Seedless grapes, for which he paid $250 per acre; and 
this he developed and brought into bearing, so that he was able to sell it four 
years later for $700 per acre.  In June, 1922, he bought a Thompson Seedless 
vineyard of twenty acres, the products of which last year amounted to $5800.  
Mr. Sugg deals in farm-lands.  Recently he sold the Jones ranch of thirty-eight 
acres for $40,000.  He has been very successful since coming to California, and 
has been a great �booster� for both Sutter and Yuba Counties.
            Mr. Sugg was married in Evansville, Ind., taking for his bride Miss 
Martha Proctor, also of Kentucky.  Their fortunate union has been blessed with 
the gift of two children, Nevella and Proctor.  Mr. Sugg is an Elk, belonging to 
Rocky Ford Lodge, No. 1147; and he is also a Woodman of the World.
