Consistent with the growth of Pali-
sade as town during the past ~
wears. has been the progress made by
RI. F.. Goemanns Grantwood Phar-
macy.
Eighteen years ago, Mr.. Goemann
started serving the interests of the
neople of the entire hilltop section
when he opened his new store on
Lawton avenue along the trolley line.
This new store was then an innova-
tion in these parts for Mr.. Goemann
nut forth the best that was in him
in the building and equipping of his
store.
His store became all the more in
teresting when we consider the un-
usual circumstances: Eighteen years
ago the people of Palisade had no
store to go to; they were forced to
bring their merchandise from the city.
But Mr.. Goemann, through a study of
local conditions and local needs
and coupled with sound experience,
brought to the very doors of the peo-
pie of this community drug store
fully equipped to meet any urgent
and immediate needs of the sick. lie
gave service plus the advantage or
fair prices. He did not forget the peo-
pie who enjoyed good health for he
opened an up-to-date soda fountain at
which he served drinks and fancy
dishes that to this day are second to
none.
So it developed that Mr.. Goemann
became the pioneer merchant along
the trolley line. Men who eighteen
years ago thought he was making a
poor move, are gradually following
and are coming to the realization that
in his foresight was wisdom.
Today Mr.. Goemann stands out as
a sound business man, known for his
honesty, his integrity, his sincerity,
and his fairness as well as one who
is through and through public spirit
ed citizen.
Palisade and Mr.. Goemann have
grown up together so that today, just
AS Palisade is thought we'll of as
community so is Mr.. Goemann
thought of as citizen and as rel1-
able and trustworthy pharmacist.
Another of our trusted and most
progressive merchants along the troll
lev is Mrs. G. G. Comstock of Grant
wood.
Five years ago Mrs. Comstock be-
came interested in the dry goods busi-
ness and bought out store which
was then conducted in what we
choose to term a mere hole in the
wall" Through earnest effort and be-
cause of her keen business ability and
perfect business personality her busi-
ness grew rapidly.
Her small store was no longer ade-
auate because of the fact that she
had added so many new lines to mt
the needs of the community. 1t then
became necessary for her to seek
larger quarters, and as result she
built herself her present store next
to that of her father, H. F. Goemann.
Here she was able to expand until
today she has one of the most up-to-
date dry goods stores for many miles.
She carries nothing but the best of
merchandise and all the highly adver-
tised brands. She has added many
new lines. such as mems and chill
drens wear, which have added i'm
measurably to her prestige as high
class store
Her pleasing manner and her ex-
tremely fair prices and fair business
methods have won the confidence or
the people, and she is looked upon
with high regard and appreciation for
her efforts in bringing a store as high
class as hers is within the convenience
of the people of Palisade and Grant
wood.
Hats off to Mrs. Comstock! She
has made winning fight against over
whelming odds.
There is beauty shop, vegetable
market and other stores in addition
to those mentioned. The Grantwood
Post Office is also located here.
In the Cliffside section the vicinity
of the cartrack was practically de-
serted as far as stores were con-
cerned, until an enterprising young
man, George Fucker, frightened up
the corner on Walker street with
couple of electric signs telling the
world he was in the gents furnish
ing business at that address. After
Fucker came the up-to-date Star The
atre across the street from him, and
the latest building is Carrelli's Hall,
now the centre of Cliffside's social life.
