Oscar A Alter

Description

Of the several successful young businessmen of the city, we can think of none who have been more clearly identified with Manitowoc and her welfare than Mr Alter.  There is scarcely any move undertaken here of a social or industrial nature in which he does not take an active part.  He is now secretary of the Building and Loan association, treasurer of the Fair association, director  of the Manitowoc Seating Company, clerk of the School Board, andhas been alderman and supervisor each three terms. He also belongs to the leading fraternal organizations.  He has been in the drug business since 1882, and conducts one of the leading stores of the kind here.  As such, we need not to refer to it in detail.  Its stock is in keeping with the high reputation it bears, and the various departments are carefully provided for, such as the prescription and others.  His station here among his fellow men is a prominent and influential one.
