BUILDING OUR COMMUNITY— Gaschos-Oldest Established Business The oldest estiblished business in Zurich is now operating under the name Gascho Brothers, con- sisting of brothers John and Ed- win. Gaschos operate two stores, one at Zurich and one at Drys- dale. In 1911 John Gazebo and Wil- liam Ruby purchased the stock of D. S. Faust, and operated in the location which is now Tasty -Nu Bakery. Three years later Joseph Gascho, the father of John, took over Mr. Ruby's interest in the business, and the firm carried on under the name of J. Gascho and Son. In 1925 the stock and fixtures of H. Albrecht were bought, and along with their own stock was moved to its present location. Then in 1930 they purchased part of the stock of the T. L. Wurm store. In 1931 the general store at Drysdale, which was owned by Joseph Bedard, was taken over, and the store was operated by Mrs. Bedard, until 1942, when John Denomy was engaged to take charge of this place. Mr. Denomy is still in charge of the Gascho store at Drysdale,. after 16 years of faithful service. In 1944 Edwin Gascho, a broth- er of John, purchased his father's interest in the business. In 1946 they built a new store hi Drysdale across from the old one. Many alterations have been made to both stores since that time. New fixtures have been installed, and both have semi self -serve grocery departments. In the Zurich store, Gascho's carry a large stock of drygoods, ladies' and men's ready- to-wear, yard goods, wallpaper and groceries, while the Drysdale store Sewing Circle Holds Meeting On Tuesday, March 11, the Zur- ich Mennonite Sewing Circle met in the afternoon and evening at the hone of Mr. and Mrs. Emmer- son Erb.

One of the employees asked him, "Are you lost?". The preacher replied, "No, sir, 1 am saved; How about you?". This very important question, we ask If you are as yet last — THE SON OF MAN IS COME TO SEEK AND TO SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST. Luke 19: 10 Zurich Mennonite Evangelist Committee specializes in groceries, ice cream, pop, men's wear, gas and oil. The older partner, John, has al- ways been very active in the' com- munity. He is a member of the Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce, and also a very active church worker. For many years he has been a member of the well- known Men's Octette, of the Evan- gelical Church. Edwin, the younger brother, has been a popular athlete in his younger days. He starred at both Business ACCOUNTANTS baseball and hockey in Zurich and neighboring towns for many years. At the present time Edwin is an active member of the Zurich Lions Club. John Gascho can recall quite well the old fashioned barter ex- change xchange system of doing business.. The store would take in butter, eggs, dried apples, feathers, po- tatoes and dutch sets, in exchange for their merchandise. For years they would handle 20 to 30 tons of dutch sets each season.
