Business anniversaries

Is your business celebrating an anniversary? The Journal Times will begin publishing 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.
