Albert F. Tingstrom
Although a resident of Santa Barbara but a comparatively short time, Albert F. Tingstrom has made a definite and favorable place for himself in the business circles of this city, where he is enjoying a steadily increasing patronage as an upholsterer. He was born on the 18th of January 1880 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is a s/oCharles I and Mary (Anderson) Tingstrom. The father was a cabinetmaker and moved from New Orleans to Texas and thence to Los Angeles in 1892, his death occurring there in 1895. The mother is still living.
Albert F. Tingstrom attended the grade schools of Texas but the greater part of his education was received in the stern school of experience. His first independent venture was a lunch stand at the Los Angeles Terminal (now the Union Pacific depot). In 1895 he started to learn the upholstering trade with Barnard & Young and afterward with L. W. Stockwell, making their first mattresses. He then worked in different shops until 1900, when he was married. The following year he went to Portland, Oregon, where he remained until 1917, when he removed to Seattle, Washington, remaining there until 1923. In 1924 he came to Santa Barbara and bought the Waley upholstering plant on De La Vine street and has since devoted himself to its conduct. He employs six workmen and his business is enjoying a steady and substantial increase. He does all kinds of upholstering, and also manufactures mattresses and fine draperies.
Mr. Tingstrom was united in marriage to Miss Maude A. Smith, who was the first white child born in Mitchell, South Dakota. To them have been born the following children: Albert F., Clarence Elmer, Clifton Neville, Stanley Rea, Clyde Edwin, all yet living; Howard Leroy, who died at the age of nineteen years; and Richard Harding, who died at the age of two years and one month. There is also one grandchild. Mr. Tingstrom is a republican in his political views and since coming to Santa Barbara has evinced a deep interest in the general welfare and prosperity of the community but the major part of his time is given to the successful handling of his business, which has demonstrated his ability and energy and he well deserves the prosperity which is crowning his efforts.
