A detailed portrait of Wauwatosa highlighting its distance from Milwaukee, transit links, and a progressive municipal framework. The piece notes incorporation in 1897, four wards, and key officials, plus a robust water and sewer system, fire department, schools, libraries, churches, clubs, and planned growth along Highland Boulevard signaling a thriving suburban community near Milwaukee.
A feature on Schwaiger Pharmacy in Wauwatosa praises the modern, inviting store between main commercial hubs. It highlights extensive offerings from confectionery to cigars, a well staffed prescription department serving six local physicians, and unique family remedies that save on doctor bills. The piece also notes the adjacent upstanding undertaker, J B Judson & Co, and the longevity of Charles E Judson’s family business in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa.
The Hawks Nursery Company, with offices in the Smith & Lefeber building, Wauwatosa, operates two local nurseries and manages western traffic from its Roch ester facility. Nursery No. 1 near Grand avenue and Blue Mound road grows general stock and handles large shade trees, while Nursery No. 2 north of the State Fair grounds specializes in elms, Norway maples, fruit trees, and shrubs. The expansion boosts Wauwatosa business, increases property values, and cements a national trade built by veterans of the nursery industry.
