Charles H. Thurston, a Cambridge native, rose from humble beginnings to a leading business figure and civic force. He left school at twelve to work at the University Bookstore, turning a studious habit into a lifelong education and business influence in Cambridge.
Charles H Thurston built a vast Cambridge business at 1322 Massachusetts Avenue becoming a major stationery and book trader with theatre ticket agency and real estate holdings. A Democrat aligned with Roosevelt, he entered local politics in 1900 pushing health over tax cuts and won a school committee seat, later becoming mayoral candidate in 1905 and 1906, with renewed effort before the upcoming election.
