“My grandpa came over here from Germany in 1913 with $50 in his pocket, and all by himself. Before he moved, he had apprenticed with a friend to learn how to be a meat cutter and sausage maker, and he thought Rogers City could use another good meat store, and he opened one. The original building is still there next to Westminster Park, being used as a dentist office today. This was at the time before the outlying areas had electricity, so he built a freezer and locker plant where we'd freeze the beef and pork for farmers, and local people could have a key to a locker where they’d store whatever food they might want to freeze.
