JOAQUIN QUINTANA was born on the Quintana ranch, San Luis Obispo County, 
December 19, 1862, and is a son of Pedro and Luz, nee Herrera, Quintana. The 
subject of this sketch passed his childhood on the ranch, after which he 
attended school at Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, receiving a good education in 
these cities. In August, 1889, in company with his brother and Mr. Masterson, he 
engaged in the general merchandise business, under the firm name of Quintana 
Brothers & Masterson, their establishment being located at the corner of Chorro 
and Monterey streets. Mr. Quintana is the senior member of this firm, a firm 
which merits the respect and confidence of all who have dealings with them.
	Mr. Quintana was married in 1884, and has three children.
