Harris Weinstock (1854–1922) was an American businessman. He was the co-founder of Lubin and Weinstock in Sacramento, California. As the founding State Market Commissioner, he oversaw regulations and marketing for the citrus, poultry and fishing industries in California. He was a founder of the Commonwealth Club of California.

Early life

Harris Weinstock was born on September 18, 1854 in London, England.[2][3][4] He emigrated to the United States at the age of one,[4] settling in New York City, where his father was a businessman.[3] He was educated in New York,[2] and he moved to California in 1869.[3]

Career

With his half-brother David Lubin,[3] he opened a drygoods store in San Francisco, California in 1872.[2] They subsequently co-founded Lubin and Weinstock, a department store in Sacramento, California later known as Weinstock's.[4][5] He was also an investor in the Weinstock, Lubin Real Estate Company; the Weinstock, Nichols Company; and the National Bank of D. O. Mills.[3]

Weinstock served in the National Guard from 1881 to 1895, retiring as Colonel.[3] Meanwhile, he joined the board of trustees of the California State Library in 1887.[3] Seven years later, in 1895, he joined the State Board of Horticulture.[3]

Weinstock became a freeholder of Sacramento in 1891.[3] In 1913, he was appointed to the Commission on Industrial Relations by President Woodrow Wilson.[3][6] He also served on the executive committee of the National Civic Federation, which attempted to alleviate conflict between employers and labor unions.[3] He was subsequently appointed to the State Industrial Accident Commission.[3]

Weinstock was elected the first President of the Commonwealth Club of California in 1903.[7]

Weinstock drafted the Weinstock Arbitration Bill of 1911, which prohibited strikes and lockouts during the arbitration process.[8]

By 1915, Weinstock was appointed by Governor Hiram Johnson as first director of the State Market Commission of California.[3][9] As Commissioner, Weinstock imposed regulations on the citrus and poultry industries, ensuring that farmers were paid their fair share and helping the industries with marketing.[9] He also established the State Fish Exchange.[3] He resigned in January 1920.[3]

Weinstock served as the vice president of the Jewish Publication Society.[4] He was also a member of the Jewish Historical Society.[3]

Personal life and death

Weinstock married Barbara Felsenthal.[4] They had two sons, Robert Weinstock and Walter Weinstock, and two daughters, Mrs Samuel Frankenheimer of Stockton, California and Mrs Burton E. Towne of Lodi, California.[3][4]

Weinstock fell from his horse while riding near Los Altos, California in 1922.[4] He died of a skull fracture at the nearby hospital in Palo Alto, California shortly after.[2][4] By the time of his death, he was worth an estimated US$500,000.[1][10] His wife inherited his estate.[1]
