Mr. Smith

October 1, 1998, Appleton Post-Crescent

We at the blog, cannot say enough about Mr. Smith and the legacy he left to the city of Menasha.  A young pioneer from Rhode Island, he set out for the west when Menasha was just a village carved out of the wilderness.  He took advantage of the opportunities set before him, thereby creating a business empire that has lasted generations.  His philanthropy was legendary and greatly contributed to the success of Menasha as a premier city of northeastern Wisconsin.
