Third Owner O1
Grocery Business
The late Tally Wurm, a well-
known Zurich man, was the first
person to open a general store in
the building now occupied by Th-
iers Superior Store. At that time
Mr. Wurm sold almost everything
imaginable, including groceries,
dry -goods and clothing. •
After Mr. Wurm's time the bus-
iness was taken over by Wesley
Merner, who now resides south of
Zurich on a farm. He carried on
much the same type of business
as Mr. Wurm had.
New Owner
Aftr serving in the army for
some time Charles Thiel returned
to Zurich and carried on the busi-
ness which he and his brother
Earl owned, the Thiel Transport.
Charles then sold his share of the
trucking business to his brother
and bought out the general store
from Wesley Merner. A few years
later he discontinued the cloth-
ing business and considerable of
the dry -goods lines they had been
carrying. From then on he worked
more and more towards turning
the business strictly into a food
store.

Local Tradesmen
Help Renovate
New Modern Store
Two local trademen played a
major part in the renovation of
Thiel's Superior Store in Zurich.
Donald Oke, Zurich, did all the
carpenter work in the fine new
store. Besides building the new ad-
dition Don covered all the walls in
the inside of the store, built all the
new shelving and display islands,
and installed a new tile floor
throughout the entire building.
Clarence Farwell, Zurich, was
the painter in charge of redecor-
ation of the store. The entire ceil-
ing was painted, as well as much,
of the woodwork in the building.
Clarence arranged to do all his
work while the store remained op-
en for business, without causing
inconvenience to the customers.
All the refrigeration in the
modern store was installedO by
Pete Crocker, RR 1, Hay
New Refrigeration.

Superior Store
Probably more refrigeration un-
der one roof than can be found
this side of the cities will be in use
in the Thiel's Superior Store, the
newest "supermarket" in this part
of the country. There are about
45 feet of display refrigeration cas-
es alone in the store, as well as a
deep-freeze and two walk-in cool-
ers.
There is the ice-cream freezer,
packed full of delicious York br-
and ice cream treats. Next to that
sits a modern dairy case, for all
fresh dairy products, such as milk,
cream, eggs, butter, cheese, etc.
A ten foot case holds all the froz-
en food products, such as vegetabl-
es, fruit and frozen fish of all
kinds.
Two cases are used for the dis-
playing of fresh and cured meats,
with ample storage space under
each one. One of the walk-in cool-
ers is to be used for fresh meats,
and the other one for fruits and
vegetables. The deep freeze is us-
ed for extra supplies of frozen pro-
ducts.
Customers can be sure of buy-
ing fresh products at all tunes
when they shop at the new, mod-
ern Thiel's Superior Store.
