CHARLES E. VOICE. � The youngest fruit buyer, in point of years, in 
the San Joaquin Valley, and probably in the entire state of California, is Charles 
E. Voice. His wits have been pitted against those of some of the oldest and most 
experienced fruit buyers in the state, and he has held his own with them all. 
Fresno may well be proud of him, for he is one of her native sons, having been 
born in that city May 18, 1890. 

He attended the grammar and high school at Fowler, supplementing this 
with a commercial course at Heald's Business College at Fresno and at San Jose. 
After, leaving school he engaged in the fruit business, which he has followed ever 
since. 

He has been in the employ of leading packing companies in Fresno County, 
and was bookkeeper and stenographer with the J. K. Armsby Company. He was 
also in the employ of J. F. Niswander at Malaga, and for a while was with the 
Earl Fruit Company, and also the Phoenix Raisin Company. In 1917, at the age 
of twenty-seven, he became buyer for the American Seedless Raisin Company, 
resigning in 1919; he is now with Rosenberg Brothers and Company, fruit 
packers. 

For his life companion, Mr. Voice chose a native daughter of Fresno, who in 
maidenhood was Miss Edith Walker. Their union has been blessed by the birth 
of one child, a son, Edward Walker by name. Mr. Voice is a member of the 
Fraternal Brotherhood.
