LICHTENBERGER MARKET After doing business at the same location for a period of 64 years, the Lichtenberger Bros. meat market, 18 South Chicago avenue, goes out of business today and the location will be taken over by the Jerrold company, dealers in men's clothing and now located at 3 East Stephenson street. The discontinuing of the business of the Lichtenberger firm marks the passing of one of the pioneer business places of Freeport. Established in 1886 by the late Henry and George Lichtenberger, under the firm name of Lichtenberger Bros., it continues until today, the proprietor, A. F. Lichtenberger, having decided to close out his business due to the fact that he had been ill for the past several months and felt that the continuation of business would be an injustice to himself and his family. In 1907 the business was taken over by A. F. and William Lichtenberger, brothers, and the original firm name was retained. It was conducted in this manner until the death of William Lichtenberger, a few years ago, after which A. F. Lichtenberger remained in charge of the place. While the latter is recovering his health, he has announced that he will retire from active business, at least temporarily, after 23 years of service to the public. For many years the Lichtenberger market was one of the best known markets in the city, their business having been founded on honesty and fair dealing which enabled it to continue for such a long period of years.
