Growth of Graettinger in 1893 to 1895 era noted in Times
The Graettinger Times 1895 issue, now in Martin Myhre’s possession, outlines Graettinger’s early growth. It lists who visited, local commerce expansions, a new bakery, merchandise prices, and church leaders. It names George Brothers, John Paulsen, A Weinholzer, Dalen and Larsen, Rierson Bros. and many others, plus town officials and a hopeful note that continued coverage will appear next week.
