Manitowoc Tribune, June 19, 1856

	
The enterprising propietor of Bakers Mills has recently put up a 
sash machine, which not only does its work well, but turns out a 
large amount of sash. A shingle machine has also been put in operation, 
and we are informed that improvements will be made during the present 
summer in the mills of Messrs. Pierce, Murphy, and B. Jones & Co. We 
have had occasion to speak of all the others except that of Messrs. 
Van Valkenburgh & Co., and Clark's Mill at Maple Grove, which keep up 
with the times.
Manitowoc Tribune, June 26, 1856


PLANNING MILL NOTICE. The undersigned will be ready at all times, 
upon the shortest possible notice, to plane lumber at the following

Improvements about Town. To chronicle all of them would be a hopeless 
task but there are some which strike the eye at a glance and indicate 
an increase of business which augers well for our future. A fine brick 
building is going up on York st. and in a short time Pontiac will lose 
one of her best citizens and Manitowoc will be the gainer therby.(sic) 
Messrs. 
W.H. McDonald & Co. have completed an addition to their extensive 
Establishment which increases their facilities and improves the appearance 
of the Store. 
Mr. I.H. Parrish is finishing a new building on Commercial 
street near the Store of Platt & Bro. 
The Tribune office will be found there after the 15th proximo and the 
upper part of the building will be occupied by Mr. P. himself as a Law 
and Land office. Hosts of new houses are going up and we notice a number 
of old ones are also getting ambitious, and with the aid of our good 
natured friend Nic Baker are on the rise who when the case requires is 
always on hand to lower others to the level of the street grade. Change 
is the order of the day, and it is from every where except in the pocket 
of the poor printer.

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.-Tom Windiate has made a much needed improvement 
in front of his new building, by laying down a fine wide side-walk, 
and arranging other matters thereto appertaining. Now if Tom will only 
complete his new Hotel in time for next Springs travel, Manitowoc ought 
to be under every obligation to him. We want a large Hotel here, and 
the one now under way will answer every purpose, when completed.

We wish some friend would purchase one, and invite us to ride when 
sleighing comes.
Manitowoc Pilot, Friday, September 23, 1859 P.3


LUMBER AND SHINGLE TRADE.-
Notwithstanding the present depressed state of this trade, shingles

Amber Sugar and Syrup. 
This branch of industry is developing to a considerabe extent in our county. 
Mr. Dalwig near the Branch, raised three tons of amber cane from one-eight 
of an acre. Some of his neighbors have had similar success.
Mr. John Dueckes, near Kiel, raised fifty acres of the cane. He received 
about 175 gallons of syrup from the acre. It is reported a great success 
and gives no more trouble than the raising of corn. We shall endeavor to 
present to our readers a description of his factory at Kiel as soon as 
possible.
The Madison Democrat says: "Seeing is believing. We know that amber cane 
taken from the University farm is yielding a most extraordinary amount of 
sugar. Let the farmers come in an see for themselves. They will find it 
better than raising wheat."

We could not fail to notice while at Manitowoc a few days ago that the leading 
men in most branches of business are comparitively young in years. The old 
stagers have most of them given place to young and energetic men. Under their 
lead Manitowoc is making rapid strides toward wealth and commercial importance. 
Among the leading attorneys are L.J. Nash, W.J. Turner, E.G. Nash, Estabrook & 
Walker and Michael Kirwan, all young talented and energetic. The same may be 
said of the physicians, among whom is Dr. F.S. Luhmann, formerly of 
Schleisingerville. The Schuette Bros. lead in the dry goods trade. A new 
grocery firm composed of two young men, Thompson & Teigen are making things 
lively for the old established houses. Bros. Nagel of the Pilot and Baensch 
of the TIMES make journals that are a credit to any community. The principals 
of the three schools are all young and successful teachers and Manitowoc schools 
are second to none in the state. The county has been fortunate in securing the 
services of excellent men for superintendents for schools and as a consequence, 
the common shcools of the county stand higher than those of any other county in 
the state. For the past ten years there has been a marked and steady progress 
in the educational line. Young and energetic blood will tell every where, but 
nowhere else have we seen such marked results from it.-West Bend Times.

NESHOTO.
ITS MILL AND ITS QUARRY.
Last week we took a pleasant trip to Neshoto. We had not been in the town for 
several years, and found things greatly changed, and also, not for the better. 
There was a time when the gently sloping hill alongside the river was covered 
with little houses, and and (sic) everything was buzzing with business. That 
was when Cooper & Jones run their saw mill, when they employed numerous hands. 
But when the saw mill was closed, the men were thrown out of employment and 
they left for other fields of labor. Now, Neshoto consists of two saloons and 
flouring mill. That is all there is left of the town.
One saloon is kept by Charles Brandt, who is well known in this city, having 
been in the employ of Matt Kettenhoffen, and also of Capt. Hemschemeyer, at 
the time the latter managed the Williams House. The owner of the other enjoys 
the cuphonious name of Silversack.
The Neshoto flouring mills, are ownd by R. Behringer & Co., the Co. being Carl 
Hacker, a young farmer from Newton, Mr. Rudolph Behringer is head miller, and 
a good one too. He has held the same position in several of the mills in our 
city,and always gave satisfaction.
The mill is three stories high, about sixty feet, its frame top resting on a 
strong foundation wall fourteen feet high. It was built last fall and started 
manufacturing on September 28, 1881.
It has four run of stone and turns out excellent flour. It is run by water power. 
The dam, which has been recently re-built, is one of the best in the county. It 
is about 200 feet long, made of square timers, piers being filled in with stone, 
with heavy planks on top. In height it is about eleven feet.
The firm is capable of grinding about 300 bushels of grain per day. Of course 
their business is limited almost exclusively to custom grinding, but is (sic) has 
often been so rushing as to keep them busy night and day.
Messrs. Behringer & Co. have experienced considerable trouble in replacing the 
old dam which was swept away last fall. But with praiseworthy energy they have 
overcome all difficulties, and now have the pleasure of owning and running as 
neat a flouring mill as there is in the county.
After we had looked around the mill we determined to investigate the stone Quarry.
We have made mention of this quarry in a previous issue, but gave no description 
of it. The quarry covers a space of about forty acres. The stone is said to be 
the best lime stone in the county; such is the testimony of all who have ever 
burned it, while for building stone it is also very desirable. It is found in 
layers ranging in thickness all the way from four to fourteen inches in thickness, 
some of them even being still thicker. Very little stone is wasted, nearly all the 
stone being fit for cutting.
The quarry was formerly owned by Messrs. Cooper & Jones, who sold much of the stone 
to be used in harbor work. The present owner is Mr. Louis Mueller, who recently 
purchased the large and splendid farm owned by Mr. George Cooper. Mr. Mueller is 
a gentleman of energy and enterprise, and if there is anything of value in the 
quarry, he is the man to make something out of it.
Although Neshoto at present is neither a large town nor a small village, still its 
future is getting brighter. The flouring mill is making things boom, and the stone 
quarry is flourishing and there are good prospects for the establishment of a 
cheese factory.

OUR MANUFACTORIES.
The Smally Manufacturing company are now snugly settled in their 
new quarters. The building is a great convenience to the company 
which needed it for their growing business, and it is a source of 
staisfation and pride to every citizen who sees it.
We noted last week that Andrew Hanson had bought Platt's building 
on York street to afford himself increased accomodations.
The factory of Messrs. Greve & Falge looms up finely in its site on 
the river bank.
The glue factory of Messrs. Chladek & Stupecky is one our most 
promising enterprises. These gentlemen are constantly increasing 
their plant. They now employe eighteen or twenty men, and have yearly 
added several hundred dollars worth of improvements to their machinery 
and buildings. It is one of the most solid and substantial manufacturing 
industries in our city and the firm deserve a large measure of credit 
for the manner in which they have built up their large and still 
increasing trade.
We have also reason to believe that the opening of spring will witness 
the addition of several other industries fo (sic) those already in 
existence. In spite of hard times and general disposition to take a 
despouding view of the business future we believe a brighter future 
is in store for Manitowoc than most people hope for.

wide, 112 long, three stories high, giving a floor surface of 18,816 
square feet. This is exclusive of a boiler and engine room adjacent to 
the main building. In addition to this there will be a large ware house, 
drying sheds, paint shops and other neccessary buildings. The heavy 
timber for building has been contracted for and the work of construction 
will begin as soon as it arrives. The spiling for the foundation has

Our business men's association have got on the track of two manufacturing enterprises 
which are looking for a location and are making efforts to get them to locate in this 
city. One is a furniture factory and the other a chair factory.
No definite propositions have yet been made on either side but will be wsthin (sic) a 
few days. In the mean time we are glad to know our leading business men are alive to 
the situation.

The Eighth street merchants are living strictly up to their agremnnt (sic) 
to close at six o'clock every evening except Wednesdays and Saturdays. 
On Washington street, however, considerable laxity is apparent. Several 
merchants in that part of the city are inclined to keep open when ever they 
feel so disposed. A few such incidents will completely ruin the whole scheme, 
and those who keep open now are liable to lose in the long run.

CLIPPER NO MORE.
A Judge Rules that the Word Is Owned by Baltimore Men.
The following clipping from a Milwaukee paper shows that Manitowoc 
is not the Clipper City she has long supposed she was:
"The Manitowoc Pea Packing company was restrained to-day from using 
the words "Clipper" or "Clipper Brand" on their packages of vegetables 
together with the image of a full rigged clipper ship which is supposed 
to be emblamatic of the name. A suit was established by the William 
Mumsen & Sons Packing company of Baltimore some time ago in which the 
plaintiff endeavored to have the Manitowoc company stop using the 
insignia or the brand showing that the plaintiff company had long been 
in business under the name, which had more recently been assumed by the 
Manitowoc company upon the claim that Manitowoc is known as the Clipper 
City.
"Judge Jenkins, in his opinion this morning, said that it seemed a 
peculiar co-incidence that two companies should each select the name 
Clipper and have the same figure as emblematic on the lable (sic), and 
he thought that, owing to this remarkable likeness there was a tendency 
to mix up people who purchased at retail. He finds that though known 
somewhat as the Clipper City, Manitowoc is not generally known as such 
and even if it were equity would necessitate the granting of the injunction 
favoring the Baltimore firm."

MANITOWOC AND THE DAIRY TRADE.
Those who are in a position to know affirm that the business of cheese 
making in Manitowoc and adjacent counties is booming and that the outlook 
for continued prosperity in the manufacture of high grade dairy products 
is brighter than it has been for years. The demand for the Wisconsin product 
is constantly increasing and it is commading higher prices. Manitowoc county 
is one of the banner counties of the state in the quanity of first class 
cheese manufactured and Manitowoc is becoming a dairy center of no mean 
importance. New factories are constantly going up in this section and it is 
a business that is paying as never before. So great is the shipment of cheese 
from here that the Goodrich transportation has recognized the necessity of 
building a special store room where it can be kept during the summer months. 
Manitowoc has gained a distinct advantage in the dairy line and should exert 
every effort to maintain her prestige.

FOR CHEAPER PHONES.
New Company Promises to Build as Soon as Franchise is Granted.
P.J. Menard, of the Manitowoc Telephone Co., is in the city busily engaged 
in soliciting subscribers for the new line. He already has a large number 
on his list and says that as soon as the city council meets and grants a 
franchise, the work of constructing the line will begin. He now proposes 
to put his phones up for $1.50 per month in business houses and $1.00 in 
private residences, and asks no payment in advance.
Should the new exchange be built, a warm telephone war may be expected from 
which the citizens will be decidedly the gainers. At Sheboygan a new company 
has proved a powerful and successful rival of the old line and has reduced 
the price to $2.50. It is claimed by many telephone men both here and at 
Sheboygan that a telephone system cannot be conducted without a loss at the 
price $1.50 per phone. What the council will do in regard to granting a 
franchise is impossible yet to say, but it is thought by some that if the 
old company will reduce their price to $2.50 per month no franchise will be 
granted to the new company.

WHO WILL BUILD IT?
Co. H. Wants an Armory and the City Needs an Opera House.
To the man of means, who has the proper spirit of regard for the good 
opinion of his fellow man, and who desires to perpetuate his name and 
his memory, long after he himself shall have passed to the silent 
majority, and excellent opportunity is now presented.
Co. H wants an armory. The city wants and needs a good opera house. Both 
can be secured by one good building. Who will erect it? Such an enterprise 
would secure lasting local fame to the man who promotes it. It would be a 
memorial building. The opera house would be known by his name throughout 
the length and breadth of the land. The building itself would take front 
rank among the public institutions of the city. We have a dozen men of 
wealth, who could esily confer this benefit upon the city, and upon our 
crack military company. Who will be the first to take the step?

STORE TRANSPLANTED. The Sohrweide & Gelbke Building To Be Moved Soon. 
Contractor Geo. Kennedy signed the contract this afternoon to move 
the building on Jay street now occupied by Sohrweide & Gelbke's shoe 
store. The building has been bought by Mr. Bloquelle and will be moved 
onto the lot facing on Ninth street back of his store at the corner of 
Ninth and Jay. The building is to be moved to make room for the new 
Schuette block. As it is a frame structure it will be veneered with 
brick to comply with the law regarding the remodeling of buildings inside 
the fire limits. A brick basement will also be built under it. The second 
story will be used for ???iling rooms. The mason work is to begin as soon

WILL FIGHT TO THE FINISH. The Manitowoc Pea Packing Co. Have Appealed 
the "Clipper City" Case. The fight over the name "Clipper City" is 
still on. The Manitowoc Pea Packing Co. adopted the name for a choice 
brand of their peas. Their reason for doing so was the fact that 
Manitowoc has from time in memoriam been nicknamed the Clipper City, 
and on the label, which bore that name, they placed the picture of a 
full rigged ship. Last fall a firm by the name of William Mumsen & Sons 
Packing Company of Baltimore brought suit against the Manitowoc Co., 
claiming that they had a prior right to the name. They were turning out 
a brand of vegetables which they labeled the Clipper Brand and also used 
the picture of a ship. The labels however were totally different. The 
Baltimore company won their suit in the lower court and the Manitowoc 
co. was restrained from using the name. The pea packers were not satisfied 
with the decision and have now appealed the case. The final decision will 
be given in about ten days, which will determine whether Manitowoc can 
legally claim the nickname of "Clipper City".

added a smelter to their institution. This is quite an extensive 
addition to the already very complete plant but it has become a necessity 
because of the scarcity of aluminum. All the scrap metal will now be made 
use of. Owing to an increasing demand for the various aluminum alloys 
which are taking the place of copper and brass, the manufacturers of 
aluminum are fully three months behind with orders. The Manitowoc company 
is already behind with orders and rather than be delayed three months 
longer, they have put in the smelter.

MANITOWOC'S FIRST APARTMENT BUILDING READY FOR OCCUPANCY 
Six Flat Building Erected by J.J. Healy on Fifteenth Street First 
of Kind in City, Nears Completion 
Manitowoc's first apartment house will be ready for occupancy about 
March 1. The new building, a three story structure, embracing six 
five-room flats, modern conveniences and with latest apartment 
features, is located on South 15th street, off Marshall, and was 
erected by John J. Healy at a cost estimated to be $10,000. Plans 
for the building were drawn by D.H. Tegen. The building is 34 by 56 
feet and has three flats one each side, each flat having a large 
living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom, with a large alcove 
off the dining room containing what is known as a Murphyized bed, 
a brass bed which folds up and is swung on a pivot and can be hidden 
from view by drapery over the doors which enclose the alcove. The 
alcove is sufficiently large to permit a dresser being place in it 
and at the same time is large enough for use as a dressing room. The 
bed swings into the adjoining room on the pivot and does not touch 
the floor or rugs until ready for position. It can be placed at any 
angle and is a convenience that is a feature of apartment building 
in the larger cities. Large closets, wash rooms, with hot and cold 
water, toilets, and other modern features are a part of each apartment, 
while at the entrance there is a large community closet off the main 
hall which can be used for wraps, rubbers, baby carriages, etc., which 
visitors to occupants of the flat may use. There is a large basement 
divided into six cellars for use of each flat and two large laundry 
rooms for use of tenants. A dumb waiter has been installed from the 
basement to the third floor for use in transferring laundry or other 
supplies. Porches are provided for the first and second floor dwellers. 
The furnishings are up-to-date and attractive and the building is 
provided throughout with the latest electrical equipment, each flat 
having an individual meter with an additional meter for the halls and 
basement. The place is finished in attractive manner and the new 
building is attracting much attention. The apartment building is an 
experiment in Manitowoc but should solve the lack of housing facilities, 
providing a modern home for tenanats. The Healy building is within two 
blocks of the high school and adjacent to the factory center of the city.

TWO RIVERS TO HAVE NEW FACTORY PLANT THIS SPRING 
Wisconsin Woodworking Co. to Build on Site of Old Pail Factory and 
Double Capacity of Business Two Rivers is to have a new, modern 
factory plant added to its industrial plants this spring, the 
Wisconsin Woodworking company having secured plans for a new plant 
to be built at once, work to start at an early date. The company 
plans to double its capacity by erection of the factory. The new 
plant will be erected on the site of the old pail factory plant, 
which was purchased by the company from Milwaukee interests this 
week. The power house of the saw mill of the old plant will be 
retained and utilized but the balance of the plant will be dismantled 
or moved away. The new factory will be built to have a fifty per cent 
larger capacity than what is now turned out with present facilities. 
This will mean approximately 375 carloase (sic) of pails a year. At 
the present time the company is not able to fill its orders having one 
contract which alone calls for 165 carloads perannum. The number of 
hands employed now is 125 and this will be, no doubt, largely increased. 
The new factroy will be run entirely by electric power supplied from the 
Wisconsin Public Service company which will have its power lines completed 
to Two Rivers by the time the new plant is ready. J.F. Conant is head of 
the Woodworking company.

VISIT OF CHICAGO MAN RECALLS INTERESTING INCIDENTS OF PIONEER DAYS 
Emil Wolf, of Chicago, was a business caller in the city for the 
weekend and incidentally visited with old time friends of his mother, 
whose maiden name was Miss Emma Nollau. Her father, William Nollau, 
conducted an old time tavern here for many years, known as the 
Franklin House, the building having been razed several years ago to 
make room for the old St. Charles hotel, now known as the Robinson 
House, on Franklin street, and at present the property of the 
Manitowoc Shipbuilding company. Pleasant recollections still remain 
with old residents who made the neatly conducted little tavern their 
rendezvous in their early days. Before Mr. Nollau conducted the place 
a Mr. Langenfeld held sway therein as host. This was in 1853 when 
refugees of the ’48 German revolution made their headquarters there. 
Among them were hot spurs, who would take up the least reflection on 
the integrity of their character as an insult to be wiped out only 
by blood. One such duel took place before the hotel one midnight on 
the sidewalk and the bartender, Kurzwaell by name, meeting death at 
the hands of his adversary, Rosstaeuscher, who came out free in the 
courts of those days on the grounds of having acted in self defense. 
Another incident that the name of Mr. Nollau recalls, occurred at the 
time he became proprietor of the Franklin House and was the engineer 
in the sawmill which stood on the site the Elks club House is about 
to occupy. His fireman, Jos. Lenox, a character old timers will readily 
remember, as a later day drayman, one night found that there was no water 
in the boiler and replenishing the supply without first putting out the 
fires, ended the usefulness of the mill, then and there. Part of the 
boiler explosion flew through the window of the bedroom occupied by Mr. 
and Mrs. Jos. Reif, startling them in their sweet repose. The building 
owned by them is now the property of the Dickson Millinery company, being 
adjunct to their millinery store in the rear. John Reif, who conducts a 
shoe store on Washington street, can give further particulars, being a 
son of the couple in question, and now long since dead.
