Alexander Friedman is senior partner in the Yosemite Wine Company. A native of Oakland, he attended the public and high schools, passing through the consecutive grades until graduated at the age of seventeen years. He then engaged with Fibush Brothers, wholesale tobacconists, in the position of salesman and so continued for four years, at the end of which time he resigned and embarked in the retail cigar business at Thirteenth and Washington streets. There he continued until February, 1913, when he and his brother, Morris Friedman, bought out the interests of the Yosemite Wine Company and are now engaged in the wholesale and retail liquor and cigar business. They also have a branch store at No. 488 Seventh street. They are very successful and conduct a high class business, catering to the best people around the bay. Their patronage is now extensive and each month marks an increase in their trade.

Mr. Friedman was married in Oakland in 1902 to Miss Lydia H. Meyers, and they have two children, Verna and Harold. Mr. Friedman is well known in Oakland, where he has spent his entire life and where he has a circle of friends that includes many that have known him from his boyhood to the present.
