Craemer Store’s 40 Year History of Growth and Struggles
The Craemer store began in 1893 with partners H N Craemer and August Reps and grew from tailored wraps to a full department store. Mrs. Craemer led early management, surviving a store fire scare and a 1906 Fourth of July near-crisis, while Mamie Morrow recalls long hours and gas-lit summers. Nicholas P. Craemer took over in 1919, with remodels and the 1923 opening of a ready-to-wear department under J J Studer, cementing a reputation for quality across the state.
