Landmarks and Liquor House Close Amid Midnight Sweep
The historic wholesale liquor house Stromberg Mullin and associated firms shut down at Monday midnight. Patrons and officials crowded the scene as kegs and bottled wines were cleared, leaving a deserted shop. Founders John Stromberg and Pat Mullins built the firm, later sold to Ted Me Page and Jack Henshaw, with Monty Stromberg and Henshaw leading at closure. Staff Sinsel and Low Manus stayed to the end, then moved on to other fields.
