William Rathsack & Sons

Title

William Rathsack & Sons

Description

Hardware

Since it was founded 4 years ago, no house in the city has shown greater development, so much so in fact that the firm had to secure larger rooms. The business now takes up a building 30x52 ft. with annex 28x30 ft., all of which is devoted to the sale of general hardware, stoves, etc. A large business is also done in the job and manufacturing departments & some 12 persons are employed. The firm consists of William, Louis & William Junior. The great success this house has achieved since it was originated has been well deserved & is an evidence of the high repute in which it is held.
