Notes:
OTTO APPLEGATE-In the mercantile circles of Long Branch, the name of Otto Applegate has come to stand for that progressive activity which inspires others to greater efforts, and brings the business world of any community into accord with the general advance . With mercantile experience in Eatontown, and the ability gained thereby, Mr. Applegate has taken rank among the foremost automobile distributors among the central counties of New Jersey.
Mr. Applegate comes from a family long prominent in this state, and is the fourth generation in line to be born on the old homestead. He is a grandson of Mathias Applegate, and a son of Jonathan and Louise (James) Applegate. His father was for many years a private detective, his activities in this field of endeavor finding the desirable inconspicuousness by reason of his side interest, a grocery store, located at Asbury park.
Otto Applegate was born in Unionville, New Jersey, now Smithburg, September 11, 1878. The family removed to New York City for a time in his childhood, Then removed a second time, coming to Asbury Park. Thus it was in the schools of that place that the boy received his education. As a young man he went to New York City, and there secured a position in a job printing office. He then started a business in New York City, carrying a complete line of steamship supplies, dry goods, clothing, etc., and was very successful in carrying this interest forward. A natural salesman, and a man of thoroughly genial and kindly spirit as well as manner, he found this occupation at once enjoyable and profitable. After fifteen years in business Mr. Applegate determined to retire, and disposed of this business. He had done no little motor driving, and was quite in the way of pastime, began to build a speed car, by his own designs. In the evolution of this car he acquired sufficient machinery to equip a modern automobile repair shop, and meanwhile, friends and acquaintances brought their repairs to him. Thus he found himself possessed of one of the most thriving and well equipped repair shops within many miles, without having purposed entering this field of activity. He erected an up to date brick structure for the purpose of manufacturing his own car, but eventually dropped this plan to take up selling. Accepting the agency for the Chevrolet car in Monmouth County, and for the Case car in the southern half of New Jersey, and five counties in Pennsylvania, including Phildelphia, having given over the Chevrolet agency, Mr. Applegate again entered the selling game, although this time in the new and broader field he has made a very marked success, and is considered one of the foremost men in automobile distribution in the State today. In the year 1920, he sold three hundred and eighty four cars.
Through the exacting nature of his business, Mr. Applegate is deterred from taking any active part in public life, but politically he supports the Republican party. Fraternally he holds the thirty second degree in the Masonic order, and is a member of the Tall Cedars of Lebanon, and KismetTemple, ancient Arabic Order Nobles of Mystic Shrine of Brooklyn. He is a member of the New Jersey State Automobile Dealers Association; of the International Automobile League; and of the Philadelphia Motor Speedway Association. He attends the first Baptist Church of Long branch.
Mr. Applegate married Iva M. Thomas, of Brooklyn, New York, and they are the parents of two children, Charles Otto and Ethel May.
