Quaker Oats

1902 grocery near Manitowoc and Second Streets.  A.J. Seithamer is in the door and Henry Lux is on the extreme right.  A grocery store was maintained at this location for the next sixty-plus years until the early 1960's and run by the Seithamer family.

  1. Does anyone know if this store was called "Cottage Grocery" in the 1960s? I vaguely recal such a store around the Jefferson park area during that time.

    1. I believe Cottage Grocery was on Sixth St. between Manitowoc and London. It looked like a little green house. I bought candy there.

  2. The Grocery Store is the current location of Chef Fresh Pizza. The Great Grandsons of AJ Seithammer are Mike Taylor and James Taylor - both have served and are currently serving on the City Common Council
