Pictured above is John Schreibeis and his grocery wagon.  Mr. Schreibeis, a long time resident of Menasha, was first introduced via the book, Menasha, where he was shown as a city policeman in 1890. Born in Two Rivers in 1861, he arrived in Menasha in 1881. He served as a police officer for four years before leaving the force and entering the grocery business at 546 Broad Street. He also became instrumental in local politics, serving as Fourth Ward member of the Board of Education, city postmaster, and was a member of the Board of Parks Commissioners.
