Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-12-20

looks after the sales end. 1t is one
structure inside and out and the own
ers are entitled to much credit for
the expressed faith in the town i'm
piled by the large investment made
in the building and corner, for many
years, vacant and unsightly spot.
M. J. Cypress and Thos. Macquaker,
the cashiers are kept busy in taking
care of the many routine duties of
the bank and which have greatly in
creased since it's purchase of the
State Bank of Eagle River and reor-
ganization as a First National bank
ing institution.
Crossing Wall St., and continuing
on Railroad Street, the general store
of Jas. Morgan & Sons, occupies the
corner across from the bank. Mr. Nor
gan started in the mercantile business
in Eagle River many years ago and as
his sons grew up they have all been
associated with him in it's manage
ment and now have sole charge their
father having retired from business
some years back. Carrying a large
stock of the best quality, combined
with prices that are right to every
one and at all times, the Morgan store
has always been favored with the
patronage to which it is we'll entitled
and the proprietors are counted
among the responsible and respected
residents of Eagle River.
Next to the Morgan store is the
Yellow Taxi office of G.. L. Carter
When few years ago Mr.. Carter con
ceived the idea of establishing an auto
livery line with all cars painted in
the familiar city colors there were
some who thought it would not prove
very successful. The novelty however
appealed directly to tourists and it
soon proved a successful move. G. L.
keeps his rigs in tip top order with
any time day or night and if anybody
can get through bad going, Carriers
men will.
Next is the Service Garage of J. B.
Cook. He maintains well equipped
machine shop and there is no make of
car that Jay or his mechanics cannot
put in running order. Centrally locat-
ed and with all the help required to
look after every car as soon as it
pulls up, the gas and lubricating oil
sales alone are a large factor in the
income receipts and business success
of the Service Garage.
At the foot of Railroad street there
is a neat little gas and service sta
ton owned and operated by F. j.
Thrun. His ability as first class me-
chanic is too we'll known to bother
about repeating and it is enough to
say that his place of business is
we'll patronized and he himself busy
a great deal of the time answering
calls from a distance wherever there
are intricate and difficult machinery
repairs to be made of any kind. To
him also belongs the distinction of
having built and operated the Eagle
River electric light and water plant
more than twenty-five years ago and
of which he was superintendent for
many years.
From here it is only step across
the railroad tracks to the Eagle Forge
owned by Chas. Pride and whose bust
ness keeps him and his son, young
Charlie and w. H. Bonner, the veter-
an blacksmith of Eagle River busy
winter and summer. Mr.. Pride is an
expert horseshoer and team owners
drive miles to him to be sure of get
ting their horses shod right He has
fine large cement block shop built
two years ago after suffering a severe
loss by fire of his old shop and tools
that would have discouraged any man
who was inclined to be weak hearted
Emil Heehn lives a short distance
below the blacksmith shop or at least
he does in the winter when work in
the plastering and fire place building
line is slack During the working sea
son his services are in great demand
both in town and at the resorts and
summer homes and he does a great
deal of work in many parts of the
county.
The remainder of the County ROAD
is a residence street until getting tt
the grocery and notion store of Mrs
Emma Meeker She carries a nice anC
up to date stock and receives a larg
patronage from village people, farm
