MADISON AUTO PARTS, Inc.
New Parts for All Makes of Cars and Trucks
1020 MADISON AVENUE Madison, III.
Madison Auto Parts was originally part Plumbing Supplies and part Used Auto Parts and Salvage Yard started by Harry Weisman and his brother Meyer Weisman in May 1927.
Gradually the plumbing supplies disappeared and more new and rebuilt Auto Parts were put in stock to fill out the Auto Parts supply line. Meyer Weisman left the business in 1939.
It was a familiar sight on Sunday morning to see several of the local garage owners and mechanics hud- dled around the old "Pot Belly Stove" thrashing out mechanical problems they had encountered during the previous week .
Just prior to World War II the salvage operations ceased and Harry Weisman continuing alone enlarged the new and rebuilt parts, though finding it difficult to obtain them during the way.
Since the youth of the Tri-Cities had left to serve their country it was necessary that Mrs. Violet Weis- man, the wife of Harry Weisman, be the pick-up girl and Shirley Weisman, now "Mrs. Shirley Comensky,"
was bookkeeper and delivery girl. It was due to the help of these two that the business prospered in the
face of both the shortage of help and materials.
In 1950 Harry Weisman took his son-in-law Irv Comensky into business with him and in 1952 an addi- tion in cement block was built to relieve the crowd- ing of parts in the original wooden structure. In 1953 another block building was built to house a machine shop. In 1954 Madison Auto Parts became Incorporat- ed with the following officers: Harry Weisman Presi- dent. Violet Weisman-Vice President, Irv Comensky -Secretary, Shirley Comensky-Treasurer.
In that same year the familiar old wooden building that fronted on Madison Avenue which had stood for many years was torn down and the new front building was erected
The untimely demise of our beloved President Harry Weisman in October of 1954 stunned all the many friends that he had made in the Tri-City Area over the period of years that had served them in his own friendly way.
The business continued with Mrs. Violet Weisman as President. In 1957 it was found necessary through the expansion of business to erect another building to house the ever increasing number of various parts and supplies to keep the vehicles of the Tri-Cities in operation.
In 1958 another tragedy struck when Mrs. Violet Weisman passed away. Unon her death Irv Comensky became President and Shirley Comensky Secretary- Treasurer.
Due to the growth of the Tri-City area and the in- crease of vehicle registration in 1961, it was found necessary again to add two more buildings to the existing structure so that now Ma dison Auto Parts Inc. occupies over 10,000 square feet of space, in addi- tion to this there is a large parking lot adjacent to the building.
Madison Auto Parts Inc. houses the largest inven- tory of Auto Parts, Accessories, Auto Supplies, Auto- motive Chemicals and Paints in the Tri-City area and anyone entering the door at 1020 Madison Avenue will always be greeted with a friendly smile by man- agers (Dick 300 bowler Fanning) and (Dave 200 bowl- er Hart) or James Little john, Pete Wilkinson, Tom Delaloye or Kenneth Presswood. If it be necessary to go into the office one will be in for a treat from the congeniality of office manager Mrs. Pauline Cohan and her assistant Diana Fox.
We wish to thank all our customers who have made our continual growth possible and especially those who have been with us since the inception of our busi- ness and are still with us, namely: Bob Naeve Service Station, Guy Burns Auto Repair, Brewer Motor Co., Moody Auto Sales, Hundley Pontiac, Hohlt Motor Co., Barney Bear Service, Willie Hlava, and John Oldal.

Ever since 1953, corrugated boxes to carry the diverse products of manu- facturers located in Illinois, Missouri, lowa, Indiana, and Kentucky have been produced at a plant on 4th and State Streets. In 1953 this facility was operated by the former National Container Corporation. Today it is an important link in a coast-to-coast network of 20 corrugated box plants operated by the Forest Products Division of Owens-Illinois, Incorporated. Owens-Illinois has been a contributing member of the Madison industrial community since 1956. And we plan on being around for a good many years to come. So congratulations Madison on the occasion of your Diamond Jubilee. We're looking forward to the next milestone-a century of com-munity progress.

4 Hour Service on Party Cakes Open 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Closed Sundays and Holidays
Busy Bee Bakery was started in 1929 by Theodore, James and Thomas Gitcho. A contest was held to name the bakery. The original Busy Bee was located at 1936 State Street-a wholesale bakery, with a brick oven, where railroad ties were used in firing the oven.
In 1936 the bakery was relocated to 22nd and State Street; under the same ownership. In 1938 Eva and Tom Gitcho purchased the bakery from his brothers and relocated it at 825 Niedringhaus in Lincoln Place. It was during the war and many soldiers patronized the bakery for carry-out pastries, milk and doughnuts. Machinery was hard to get, during the war and short- ening and sugar supplies were rationed, so Busy Bee closed its doors in 1944.
Eva and Tom Gitcho purchased property on 8th and Madison Avenue which was then an empty field, and constructed a new and modern bakery, consisting of gas fired oven, electric mixers, automatic doughnut fryer. The bakery opened August 22, 1946 and they have served the public from that time with delicious Danish pastries, pies, bread and specialized in decorat- ed cakes. In 1964, due to ill health, Mr. and Mrs. Gitcho sold the bakery to their daughter and son-in-law, Paul and Agnes Freeman, who are now operating the bakery and serving the public in the same way as their parents, and they hope to serve the public till the next 75th Jubilee.

Federal Oil Corporation
8th & Madison Ave.
Madison, III.
Federal Oil Corporation originated from an idea of Irvin Miller in the fall of 1928, who was formerly a salesman for Pierce Oil Company in this area which was later acquired by Sinclair Refining Company.
Federal Oil was incorporated in January of 1929 with the following officers: Mannie Schermer, President, Henry Karandjeff, Vice-President, Pete Schermer, Sec- retary-Treasurer and Irvin Miller as Manager. When the Board of Directors of the Corporation sought a location for the enterprise they decided on the present loca- tion at 8th & Madison Avenue due to the property being on a rail siding and also centrally located for the Tri-Cities.
In 1938 Mr. Miller's health became impaired and he was forced to retire. The Corporation re-purchased his stock and it was retired. In February 1929 a contract with signed with the Mid-Continent Petroleum Corporation, refiners of Diamond Oil Products. Since that time the original Mid-Continent was merged with the Sun- ray Oil Company, this Company is now the largest refiner in Oklahoma, marketing DX Products throughout the entire middle west. The parent company name was changed to Sunray DX Oil Company.
In 1964 Mr. Karandjeff's stock was purchased by Roland D. Evans who has been manager of the Company since 1945.

INTRODUCTION
One of our nation's great industrial empires lies partially within what is known as the Great American Bottoms in St. Clair and Madi- son Counties, Illinois. This area is situated along the easterly bank of the Mississippi River immediately across from St. Louis, Mis- souri, and includes the cities of East St. Louis, Granite City, Venice, Madison, and Washing- ton Park and several smaller Communities, all of which are in Illinois. The whole area has a relatively high ground water level, and is protected from flood waters of the Mississippi River by a system of levees and wing-levees, canals, conduits and pumping stations con- structed and operated by The East Side Levee and Sanitary District. This flood protection has proved adequate to keep out the Missis- sippi River flood waters throughout the years since construction and is one of the few levee systems along the big river which has never broken. It is noteworthy that during the July 1951 flood, which wrought so much havoc in Kansas City and various other places in Kansas and Missouri, this system held back the flood waters and no loss was experienced within the 96.32 square miles protected by the levee, although the river stage reached a maxi- mum crest of 40.3 feet, St. Louis gauge. As a matter of explanation we should like to point out that zero gauge on the Mississippi River at St. Louis is equivalent to 379.94 feet above mean sea level, according to the U. S. Geological survey.
The territory within the Levee District gen- erally has an elevation of 30 to 50 feet, St. Louis gauge. River stages of less than 20-22 feet afford no menace to the territory, but above the internal waters will not flow by gravity into the river and the pumping sta- tions must be operated. This entire area is bounded on the east by relatively high bluffs which cause a run-off of storm waters from a wide drainage area into the bottom lands pro- tected by the levee system.

During the summer of 1902, a group of business and civic leaders of the Tri-Cities met, at the request of George W. Niedring- haus, to discuss ways and means to further the growth of the area.
At the time, the Village of Madison was in its eleventh year and Granite City was three years old.
Of the various topics discussed, the estab- lishment of adequate banking facilities to serve the area, seemed the most important. A committee was formed, headed by Mr. Niedringhaus, to secure the necessary capital and to make application for a charter for a new bank. Their efforts met with success and on December 30, 1902, the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States issued Charter No. 6564 to the Granite City National Bank for the conduct of a general banking business in the area.
Early in January, 1903 the stockholders of the newly authorized bank met and elected the first Board of Directors. Those elected were: George W. Niedringhaus, Superintend- ent of the National Enameling and Stamping Company; G. A. Nieman, Treasurer of Granite City Lime and Cement Company; Charles Lexow, farmer, of Mitchell; A. W. Morriss of Morriss Realty Company; Walter Romann, farmer, of Granite City; H. S. Bishop, a real estate agent, of Alton; W. H. Niedringhaus, National Enameling and Stamping Company; W. W. Hanlon, Superintendent, Steel Works of National Enameling and Stamping Com- pany; Phil Lauff, proprietor Lauff Hotel; T. K. Niedringhaus, Chairman, Republican State Committee of Missouri and C. F. Stelze!
The directors then elected the following officers to operate the bank: George W. Nied- ringhaus, President; C. F. Stelzel, Vice Presi-
dent and Cashier and W. A. Martin, Assistant Cashier.
The Bank formally opened on January 17, 1903 in quarters at 19th and Delmar, now occupied by Fleishman's Men's Store. Total resources at the time of opening were $75,768.45.
In July of 1917, a new building at the corner of Niedringhaus and Edison Avenues, was completed and the Bank moved to the new location. At the beginning of the Great Depression of the 1930's, the directors, fore- seeing the dark days ahead, negotiated and completed the consolidation of the Granite City National Bank and First National Bank of Granite City, creating the present First Granite City National Bank, which continued to operate under the 1902 Charter.
Subsequent developments and the deepen- ing of the depression, proved the wisdom of this move and the new bank continued to serve the financial needs of the area.
Growth of the Bank and of the communities it served, made it necessary to seek even larger quarters and in February of 1960 the move was made to our present home at the corner of Edison Avenue and Twentieth Street. Here the finest and most modern of banking facilities, including Drive-Up and Sidewalk Teller windows, a large customer parking area, closed circuit television and many others, en- able us to continue to offer the best in Full Banking Service and to continue as the Tri- Cities leading financial institution.
We are proud to be a part of this commun- ity and extend to our neighbors and friends in the City of Madison, our heartiest congratula- tions on the occasion of their Seventy-Fifth Anniversary.

Ģlik's
In 1901, Morris Glik opened the first Glik Department Store in Madi- son. His business founded on the basis of quality merchandise offered to the public at fair prices-coupled with service and guarantee of satisfac- tion, caused his business to grow and succeed.
At the close of World War II, Joe Glik entered into the active man- agement of his father's business and following the same business creed established by his father, has successfully expanded Glik's Department Stores to seven stores, Madison, Granite City, Alton, East Alton, Edwards- ville, Godfrey and Cahokia. An eighth is scheduled for opening late in 1966 in Belleville. Glik's, whose main office is located in Madison, is the only independently owned chain of department stores exclusively serv- ing Madison and St. Clair Counties.

In essence, the history of a city is the total chronological experience of its citizens, particu- larly those families who have contributed, over the span of its existence to its growth and stabil- ity. The commitment of the Schermer family to our community has been of that order.
As the City of Madison celebrates its seventy- fifth anniversary, Schermer Super Markets, In- corporated is celebrating its sixty-third year in business at 12th and Madison Avenue. It is the oldest family-owned, continuously-operated re- tail business in the city. The original store build- ing was erected on the present site of Schermer's Garden Shop by Herman Schermer, the father of the present owners.
Herman Schermer was born in 1880 on a farm in Austria, the eldest of seven sons of a
civil engineer. When his father died, Herman was 14 years old, and his youngest brother, Jacob, was an infant. In 1898, Herman came to America and in 1903 entered the grocery busi- ness in North Venice as a partner in the firm of Schermer and Arnovitz. The 1903 floor inun- dated the North Venice store, and after the water receded, the partnership was terminated. Herman Schermer then built his grocery store in Madison.
A year later, he sent to Austria for the next oldest brother, Ben. At short intervals thereafter, each of the remaining brothers arrived, the final arrival being his youngest brother accompanied by his mother.
In 1907, a new building was erected where the present Schermer Super Market stands, and the grocery was transferred there.
SCHERMER'S
CELEBRATES
63rd
YEAR
Seventeen years later, the building was en- larged and a complete department store was established. In addition to groceries, the ex- panded facility sold clothing, jewelry and a com- plete line of hardware.
Herman Schermer suffered a heart attack in 1931, and in 1933 became too ill to remain active in the business. His eldest son, Leo, left Washington University Law School and took over the operation of the store.
The department store was discontinued in 1935 and the business reverted to a grocery line which was housed in the corner portion of the building. This portion was destroyed by fire in 1938, approximately one year after Herman Schermer died. The grocery was transferred to that part of the building formerly occupied by the department store.
At the outbreak of World War II, Avery and University until his graduation in September 1943. During the period between the induction of Leo and Stan into the Army and Avery's grad- uation from college, the store was operated by their mother, Mrs. Helen Schermer.
Leo and Stanley both had distinguished com- bat service with the U. S. Army in the European theater of operations. Leo, with the Amphibious Engineers, made the D-Day landing at Utah Beach. His battle decorations include the French Croix de Guerre with arrowhead. Stanley served with the 78th Division Combat Engineers, and was wounded in the fall of 1944 near Aachen, Germany. His military awards include the Purple Heart and the ETO medal with three battle stars.
Leo returned from service in November 1945, and Stanley in March 1946. The day after Stan-
-93-
ley's return to Madison, a fire started in the Stanley were attending college. Stanley and Leo went into military service in 1942. Avery was classified 4-F and continued attending St. Louis portion of the building housing a tenant-operated furniture store, and the entire structure was de- stroyed. The building was rebuilt and opened as the first self-service, cash-and-carry grocery in Madison.
Stanley re-entered Washington University upon his return from service, graduating in 1948.
