Mr.. Priebe, who is the owner
of one of the sawmillS Of Wabeno,
bought ground and commenced
the erection of his saw mill plant
in October, 1901. The mill was
completed and the machinery in
stalled and the plant commenced
operations in December, 1902.
This mill has a capacity of 10000
feet daily but is not running at
full capacity at present as Mr..
Priebe is putting in so per cent
more horsepower which will give
him 100 horse power. Mr.. Priebe
will in the course of a few weeks
erect new building for his plan
ing mill plant for which he has
the required machinery and which
will be installed as soon as the
building is completed. The mills
cut hardwood, bass wood, pine,
spruce and balsm, maple, birch,
etc. He is a thorough mill man
and understands every detail of
the business. He is thoroughly
imbued with the idea of a good
future for this country as it has
every reason for advancement
and is always to the front in az y
thing that will advance the 'nter-
ests of the town and county.
One of the most up to date bus
mess houses in Wabeno is the
firm of Conradin Jecklin & Co.
Mr.. Jecklin was the originator of
the business, coming here in May
1900, first doing business in q
shanty of small dimensions while
building the store which was com
pleted and ready for occupancy
in October of the same year.
When Mr.. Jecklin first started in
business he carried only d small
furniture line but owing to the
demand for larger and better
assortment Cf goods, in 1901 he
took in a silent partner and the
name was changed to Conradin
Jecklin & Co. All that time the
firm increased their stock of fur
niture and shortly after this part
nership was established, the new
firm put up hardware store
with a small stock of stoves and
tinware. Since that time they
have increased the stock until at
the present time they carry as
complete a line of hardware,
stoves, oils, paints, farming tools
and implements, loggers and
builders supplies as can be found
in the county. In connection
with this business they conduct
a general tin and repair shop
which receives the patronage of
the farmers and citizens Of this
vicinity. The firm has shown
pluck and endurance in overcom-
ing the many difficulties TO be
met with in a new county and
they we'll deserve the success
they have attained. Their build
ing is two stories, SO foot front
by 70 feet deep. On the first
floor they conduct their furni-
ture and hardware store and on
the second floor they have a fine
large hall 35x45 feet so arranged
That all society as well as stage
entertainments can be held. This
is a finely arranged building. The
plans were made by Mr.. Jecklin
who also did a good deal of the
work. This gentlemen has been
instrumental in bringing several
firms here and persuading them
to locate here permanently, name
ly H. F.. Priebe, saw and plan
ing mill, John Meng, dealer in
-four and feed and several o.heI
industries. Mr.. Jecklin is very
popular with every one in this
section and especially with the
German population.
