WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925 SCHAEFER FIRM IN NEW OFFICE New Location Marks His- toric Pioneer Scenes J. H. Schaefer and company moved its real estate office from 909 Ridge avenue to 807 Ridge avenue, opposite Schiller street, this week and thereby brought Mr. Schaefer once more to the location where the Schaefer fam- ily had taken part in a colorful era of early Wilmette history. Old timers, who remember the days of the old Gross Point Market, will re- call that John Schaefer, father of J. H. Schaefer, was one of the active backers of the Market. Every month, in the proper season, the present Ridge avenue was the scene of foot races, exhibition stunts and where dozens of produce stands and wagons from the surrounding country carried on an ex- tensive business of barter and trade. The original charter of market is still in possession of Mr. Schaefer. It was issued in the early 70's and is an important document in Wilmette his- tory. Mr. Schaefer's father, who died eight years ago, is said to have been the first white child christened in Wilmette. That was in 1844. Bernard Golbach, who was J. H. Schaefer's partner in the real estate business when he first began out at Ridge avenue three years ago, was one of the men who applied for the charter. Schaefer's father and John Schildgren were also among the appli- cants. The building into which the Schae- fer firm has moved has been complete- ly remodeled--almost rebuilt--from what was the first barber shop in the section. The shop began business in 1871. Associated with Mr. Schaefer is E. J. Keil, who is well known in real estate circles here. The firm is spe- cializing in acre tracts, having hold- ings throughout the west north shore, including Barrington, Palatine and Mt. Prospect. Mr. and Mrs. Chicago, months' Michael Straus of have returned from a six sojourn in Europe Mrs. Pop SLTAUS was formerly Miss Nancy Por- | ter."
