I found a resource (that is new to me) and thought I might share it with the
lists. It is "Polk's Wisconsin State Gazetteer and Business
Directory-1924-25" by R. L. Polk & Co. Publishers, 431 Howard Street,
Detroit, WI Ii found this book at the Neenah Wisconsin Library.
This is for the entire state of Wisconsin. It is set up like most city
directories, but the listings are set up first alphabetical by City and then
under each city it lists alphabeticaly all businesses from that city. In the
back of the directory it lists all businesses by alpha. Found this
interesting as it looks like it lists those who really didn't have a
"business" building, but may have done a certain type of work on the side. I
also was surprised to see the very small towns also listed. The listings
also gives a info on the town/city itself.
Found my husband's grandfather listed as an upholsterer.
