Business anniversaries

Is your business celebrating an anniversary? The Journal Times will begin announcing certain business anniversaries, but we need your help to do it.

Starting immediately, we will print short news items of 10th, 25th, 50th and greater multiples of 25 years of Racine County-based companies.

We ask you to provide us with the basic information: when the business started; the founder; its location then and now; the original name if different than today’s; and what the business did in the beginning and now.

We will include these in People in Business or use them as stand-alone news items in our Sunday Money section.

You can send your items to Michael Burke at: mburke@journaltimes.com, or to Sharon Knox at: sknox@journaltimes.com, or fax them to (262)
