CLYDE E. CONDIT
An experienced and influential business man of Stockton, Clyde E. Condit is the proprietor of the Electric & Machine Equipment Company located at 124 North El Dorado Street. A native of Iowa, he was born at Grinnell on August 25, 1866, and he received his education in the public schools of his native city. Desiring to complete his education to better equip himself for his chosen field of labor, he removed to California and entered Stanford University and was graduated from that institution in 1891 as an electrical engineer; after his graduation he went to Goldfield, Nev., and entered the employ of the Nevada-California Power Company. This company erected the first steam power plant in Nevada at Goldfield. Having gained valuable practical experience while being employed with this company, Mr. Condit resigned his position and entered the business arena for himself, opening up as an electrical engineer and having for sale mining machinery, with branch stores at Reno, Nev., and San Francisco, Cal. Some time later he sold his business and located in Portland, Ore., where he entered the employ of the Northwestern Electric Company. In 1917 he came to Stockton and purchased the Electric and Machine Equipment Company, which was started in 1907 by L.F. Youdall. For two years he followed electrical contracting, and equipped many of the large buildings in Stockton; in 1919 he gave up contracting and has become a wholesale and retail dealer in electrical supplies. He is a member of the Stockton Chamber of Commerce; of the Merchants Association and of the Yosemite Club. His twenty years' experience, backed by a thorough education along electrical lines, has enabled Mr. Condit to attain to and hold an important and influential place in the business circles of his locality.
