From Amherst to Merthe’s Department Store Leader
The 16 year old German immigrant Charles H Merthe began as a stocky farm boy turned clerk at J. C. Holtz hauer in Amherst in 1892. He slept in the store while earning six dollars weekly, delivered goods across Lorain County, and learned every aspect of retail from stock to window dressing. After stints with George T. Biggs then Dave Lewis, he rose to manage and acquire a stake in Lewis Mercantile by 1902, expanding it through 1914 and then purchasing the property in 1917, building a lasting local department store empire despite the Great Depression. He describes the business as built on personal service rather than advertising.
