Abstract:
Papers of a father and son who were West Allis, Wis., businessmen and community leaders. The bulk of the collection consists of the correspondence of the C.

The remainder of the papers relate to the Democratic Party activities (1920-1930) of Thomas, who held several state party offices; and to the business, civic, and social activities of Harold, who ran an A & W Root Beer stand franchise, and was active in the American Legion, the Red Cross, local bowling teams, and the Fairview Country Club.
