Arthur Hamilton Marston, 1881-1973
Beginning as cash boy and clerk on Saturdays and summers, he became President and General Manager by 1931, his life's work was in the management of The Marston Company.
As an early member of the Sierra Club, (1904), his environmental ideas included new technologies like the solar water heating system he designed and installed in his bedroom en suite at the family home as a young man.
Arthur Hamilton Marston played a quiet role in public affairs, but was nonetheless very active in a number of organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce, and helped convince the city that major roads such as Scenic Highway 163 (formerly 395) should be built.
