TAKES WAUSAU CHARGE
Rev, T.. II. Bertermann. Pastor OF StS
PaurS Lutheran Church, Will
Go to NeighbOring City

Rev. E. III. Bertermann, pastor of
St Paul's Lutheran church, preached
his farewell sermon last Sunday and
left on Wednesday for Wausau to as
sumo charge of Trinity Lutheran
church in that city. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Betermann and their
two young sons.
Trinity congregation is one of the
oldest and largest in northern Wis
cOnsin, therefore Rev. Bertermann's
assignment there is a distinct promo
tion and one he is fully deserving of.
The clergyman has been resident of
Stevens Point for the past four years
and during that time has done highly
excellent work among his people. He
has formed scores of good friendships
throughout the city and the well wish
es of all will accompany him to his
new home.
Trinity church, a large and hand
some structure erected only a few
years ago, is located on the west side
of Wausau. Adjoining the church is a
modern parsonage.
A farewell surprise party in honor
of Rev. Mr.. Bertermann and family
was successfully carried out at the
local church parlors Monday evening,
when II. B. Brooks acted as spokes-
man in presenting the retiring pastor
a substantial purse. Refreshments
were served and several happy hours
enjoyed by the large gathering.
1t is expected that a new pastor for
st. Paul's church will be selected

The above IS a picture of the Mara
thOn Shoe cOmpany's plant which is
located at 325-330 First Ave. north.
1t was started here five years ago
with such prominent men of our city
as Chas. Dodge, VIM. +. Dodge, c. G..
Kruger, c. H. Hooker, C. G. Hooker.
Otto Muenchow and H. ]. Hagge, as
directors. S. j. Pentler, an eXper-
fenced shoe man was selected as its
general manager and secretary. Chas.
Dodge, president and VIM. E. Dodge,
treasurer. A fire proof building 120x
80 was constructed and from the very
start the business assumed proper
tions far in excess Of the expectation
of the most ardent stockholder. It's
phenomenal growth was in a measure
due to the world war, which created
a great demand for all kinds of foot
wear. The company has gradually in
creased its force from so until it now
has $50 and when the new addition is
in full operation, the force will be
increased to fully $50. Most of the
department heads are Wausau men
and women, who have been taught
shoe making and advanced to high
positions rather than to bring in out
siders.
The new addition, just completed is
110X50, exclusive of a large ware
house on the west end. 1t is admir-
ably lighted and ventilated and mod
ern in every particular.
The building is two stories. the low
er being used for leather rooms. shrip-
ping and packing rooms, offices, etc. /;

|ACLUB FOR WAUSAU.
MEETING HELD ON FRIDAY
ARRANGEMENTS MADE
FOR ORGANIZATION

There is move on foot to organize
La Business Womens' club in Wausau,
| and from the. interest manifested at
the meeting held at the city hall on
Friday evening, it seems that the club
will be one of the full-fedged organ
izations of our city within short
| time.
1t is proposed 20 give the members
of the club all one can get at the
mems club and then some better, in
the way of swimming pool, dorma-
tories, etc.
1t appears to some that Y. w. c.. A.
would more nearly fill the bill. Such
an institution, if arranged along the
same prepared lines would relieve the
situation in our city as regards the
many teachers who find it difficult to
obtain, lodging places and meals. The
business woman can meet at the Y
W. C. A. rooms with others, as easily
as at the proposed club. At such an
institution there would be of necessity
all sorts of athletics; a swimming
pool, dormitories, etc., and this would
be an inducement for the ladies of
Wausau, young and old, to join and
especially could it be made home for
hundreds of young women, who come
to our city temporary or permanently.
A purely business women's club
might be sustained on a small scale,
but inasmuch as the Wausau Club is
open to the women of our city; hav-
ing parlors and the rooms there for
their use, where they can have all
kinds of business meetings; a hall,
which has been placed at their dis
posal for lectures, ETC., it would seem
that the Wausau Club is not only
business mems club but also for busi-
ness women as we'll. Most of the wo-
men who would be called to contribute
and keep up Business Women's club,
already have their family budget
drawn heavily upon, to assist in keep
ing up the Wausau Club Even this
club has a hard time to make both
ends meet.
There is great fei3 in Wausau for
some kind of an organization that will
provide meals, lodging and recrea-
tion for the hundreds of young ladies
in our city, who occupy positions as
teachers, clerks, stenographers, ETC.,
and some philanthropist or number
OF them who can solve the problem,
will be blessed by our community But
a Business Women's club can. without.
doubt, be arranged to be taken care
OF at the Wausau Club. This institu-
tion is as much for the women in
way, as it is for the men. It has its
cafe, where everyone in a family.
whose head belongs to the club, can go
and obtain meals, and no doubt this
privilege can be extended to others, if
the club so elects.
The meeting on Friday evening at
the city hall was largely attended and
much interest taken in the proposed
Business Womens' club. Judge A. H.
Reid presided. There was singing by |
Miss Madelon Whitman and George
Vehlow accompanied by Miss Wini-
fred Ryan on the piano, and a read |
ing by Miss Consuela Jawort. Brief
addresses were made by Judge A. II. |
Reid, S. B. Tobey, H. G. Flieth, C. G.
Kruger and l.. E. Blackmer, all favor
ing a Business Women's club.
= Next week, active work will COM
mence for members. At the present
time many pledge cards being signed. |
