Fashions, shopping habits change through the years

The Holst family of Mishicot posed in 1894 for this picture in front of the Holst Cash Store

Early-day general store remembered in Mishicot

The Holst General Store in Mishicot was a village landmark for nearly a century. These pictures, shared with Herald-Times-Reporter readers by Mrs. Tony Schultz of 1316 Hamann Road, Manitowoc, a niece of the late Nora and Hugo Holst, show the Holst family in 1894, and interior pictures of the store showing how it looked about 1912. According to a souvenir booklet, “Compliments of A. Holst,’ and given to his customers in 1912, the business was started in 1889 “and has been steadily growing, now is one of the largest department stores in the county. “Everything is carried in the line of general –

The building has much floor and shelf space, which makes it possible to handle the capacity of business transacted here. People are attracted from miles around, and they can be assured of good selection because all departments are complete. Members of the Holst family, in the top photo, from left, were Hugo Holst, Arthur Holst, Anna Bhenke, Ruth Holst, Emma Bhenke, Mrs. Augusta Holst, Ida Bartel Luedtke, and an unidentified clerk. The store was sold to George Krause in December 1963, and he operated a store there about seven years before constructing the present Krause’s Shopping Center across Main St., and about a block east of the original location. The original store has been razed. Hattie Kadow Meineke, who worked in for the Holst store for 40 years, still resides in Mishicot.

The surviving member of the Holst family shown in the picture is Ruth Holst, now Mrs. Ruth Holst Fischer Horneck, residing in a nursing home in Sheboygan. The souvenir booklet, in addition to photos of the Holst store, contained other scenes from the village. One of them showed the interior of the Elite Theater operated by the Mishicot Amusement Co., and regarded “as the most up-to-date moving picture playhouse for a place the size of Mishicot, in the state, and perhaps the United States.” The booklet further stated, “The management — fits, but instead, for moral and up-to-date amusement, so as to boost the town. All pictures shown here are passed by The National Board of Censorship. The members of this company are all home boys. The place has an inclined floor, a feature not seen in many of our neighboring cities. The room in which the machine is operated, is lined with galvanized iron, over which asbestos is put, thus insuring perfect safety in regard to danger from fire.”

The booklet also had pictures of the State Bank of Mishicot, founded in 1910; Mishicot Telephone Co. repair crew for the company organized in 1909; power house of dam of Mishicot Electric Light and Power Plant; generators in the power house of the electric light company; water wheel and switchboard in power house; Mishicot Brewing Co., grist and saw mill; Mishicot Opera House; Mishicot baseball and basketball teams of 1912.

A 1965 newspaper article about the discovery of a gravestone for David Soper in Mishicot, Wisconsin. The gravestone was discovered underneath a portion of the Holst Sons Co. Department Store building.

Full article text:

DUG FROM THE PAST — While razing an old warehouse on the west side of the former Holst Department Store, Mishicot, to provide room for a blacktop parking lot for the new super market of Krause Shopping Center, workmen found an old tombstone. The Holst Store was the community’s oldest general mercantile establishment and was founded 74 years ago, in 1890. The building was erected in three sections. Inscribed on the tombstone was “Gone Home. David Soper Died Sept. 19, 1869. Aged 68 yrs. 2 mo’s and 10 d’s.” Some have theorized that the stone, found under the end section of the building, the old warehouse, could have been taken or stolen from a plot and hid in this building. Previously the warehouse was used as the print shop when the Holst brothers made their own advertising bulletins. (Photo by staff photographer)

Full text of first article:

C.H. HOLST DIES AT HOME AT MISHICOT

Well Known Business Man of County Ill For Long Time

C.H. Holst, widely known pioneer merchant of Manitowoc county, died at the family home at Mishicot at 3:30 this morning, death following an illness of many months. Mr. Holst underwent an operation last summer in a final effort to regain his health but the hope proved futile. The funeral will be held at Mishicot Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock with service at St. Peter’s Lutheran church, the Rev. Zell officiating.

Founded Business in 1890

Born in Germany April 1, 1853 Mr. Holst came to America with his parents as a babe. The family took up its home in Calumet county and there he grew to manhood. For a time he taught in the public schools and then engaged in business at New Holstein. He was married to Miss Augusta Hintz Behnke and in 1890 the family moved to Mishicot where he established the Holst Sons Company, a general store business from which he retired in 1914 turning the business over to his sons. He remained an advisor and took an interest in the affairs of the company, however until a year ago when failing health compelled him to give up all his active interests.

Mr. Holst is survived by his widow, two sons Arthur and Hugo all at Mishicot and by three daughters, Mrs. Elwood Fischer of Sheboygan, Mrs. A.R. Madson of Mishicot and Mrs. F.J. Sievers of Pullman, Washington.

Was A Home Man

Mr. Holst belonged to no fraternal orders, being essentially a home man and devoting all of his time outside of his business to his family. Mr. Holst was one of the best known men of the county and his death is a shock to the community.

Hugo Holst, prominent Mishicot business man and county chairman of the American Red Cross, will be the first president of the newly incorporated village of Mishicot. He was chosen in a field of three candidates at a special election Wednesday, at which nearly 250 voters selected a complete slate of village officers In a close race Mr. Holst polled 106 votes to 99 for Leo Kostechka, village postmaster. George Schmidt polled 35 votes. Mr. Holst, who will take over the Mishicot presidency at once, is identified with the Holst Sons company, village mercantile store. He is a trustee of the Maple Crest sanatorium and was recently named county chairman of the Red Cross. He has been an active leader in Mishicot civic affairs for years.

Harpt Is Supervisor

Reuben Harpt was elected supervisor with 146 votes to 72 for Harvey Pfingsten and 21 for Herbert Meineke. He qualified immediately to give Mishicot representation today on the county board which met at the court house in Manitowoc for a one day session. Addition of Harpt gives the county board 39 members. Mishicot voters chose Frank Hinesh treasurer without opposition. He polled 232 votes. Donald Halada was named village clerk over Norman Burt, 161 to 79. Wilbert Kempen was elected assessor, polling 93 votes to 83 for Paul Seibold; Sherman Nimmer received 58.

The Holst Brothers

Herald Times Reporter

“They had everything imaginable.”

That’s how retired Mishicot area dairy farmer Paul Mueller remembers the Holst & Sons Store in Mishicot. The sons were longtime local sponsors in a period spanning both horse and buggy and the Corvette. Founded by A. Holst in 1889 and passed on to his sons, Hugo and Arthur in 1918, Holst & Sons sold everything from food staples to family apparel to phonographs. The store was purchased in 1963 by George Krause, who later razed the building and opened Krause’s Shopping Center. Families could have an all their needs met at the Holst Bros. Store, said Ray Kronforst, himself the operator of Kronforst Electric for 50 years. Holst & Sons competed with other grocers, including the Pfingsten Brothers and Wojta’s, another general retailer. The long store contained clothing on one side and shoes on the other. In between was a general store filled with groceries, Mueller said. In a cramped world of case upon case, box upon box, the brothers provided full customer service. Shelf after shelf of products, ranging from ointments and salves to shoes were available. Fresh produce arrived on a seasonal basis. “Whatever the small country stores sold, they were limited by space, too,” said Kronforst, who went to the store from the time he was a baby. It’s where he got his first knickers and suit, and dress shoes such as those made by the Peters Co. The Holst brothers were a lot more than just shopkeepers, though, Kronforst recalled. Hugo, for example, was on the board of directors for the Mishicot State Bank. Both were local firefighters. Kronforst, once a Mishicot High School basketball player, remembered the rides the brothers gave. The team rode in the brothers’ large comfortable cars to Door County schools in the Peninsula Conference.

Neither Hugo and his wife, Nora, nor Arthur and his wife, Eva, had families of their own. Rides from the brothers might have been another one of their ways of giving back to Mishicot. “Hugo and Arthur were very good sponsors of anything for the community,” Kronforst said. “They were very supportive of the community in all ways.” — KURT RENTMEESTER

A May 1, 1964 newspaper article about a change in ownership of the Holst Sons Co. Department Store.

Full article text:

May 1, 1964

Holst Store Now Krause’s

MISHICOT —- This community’s oldest general mercantile establishment, A Holst and Sons, founded 74 years ago, in 1890, is now being operated under the ownership of George Krause of Randolph Street, formerly associated with the Culligan and Schumacher firm of Two Rivers. It is now known as Krause’s Shopping Center. Krause acquired the property in December and remodeled the general store into a modern super market shopping center, carrying all nationally advertised groceries, health and beauty aids, and a large selection of produce and a complete frozen food section. Future plans call for remodeling of the exterior, removing an old warehouse on the west side for conversion into a blacktopped parking lot. Krause also plans to continue appliance servicing work. A graduate of Mishicot High School, Krause married the former Joan Baker of Kewaunee. They have five sons and a daughter. He is a member of Holy Cross Parish, serving as its treasurer. Also, he is a trustee of the Knights of Columbus Council, a member of the Holy Name Society, Mishicot Jaycees and Mishicot Lions Club. The Holst family came from Potter, Wis., in 1890 and erected the store on what is now Main Street, with living quarters in the rear. Hugo Holst and his brother, the late Arthur Holst, took over the business in 1918. The establishment was a typical country store with groceries, dry goods and men’s and women’s ready – to – wear. Arthur Holst died in 1940 and his widow, Eva, remained in partnership for three years, disposing of her share to Hugo Holst, longtime civic leader, first village president and the first president of the Lions Club. He had been active in Red Cross circles for years and served as county chairman. For 14 years he has been on the board of trustees of the Maple Crest Sanatorium, currently serving as president.

Snapshots from the 60th anniversary of the Holst Sons Co. Department Store (Holst Cheap Cash Store), which was located between 506 and 442 E Main Street in Mishicot, Wisconsin.

This history of the store was published in a MAGIC newsletter:

Just as the Schuette Store was famous to Manitowoc and Schroeder Bros. is to Two Rivers, so the Holst General Store was the center of shopping in Mishicot for over 74 years. A 1912 souvenir booklet, compliments of the Holst Store states, “the business was started in 1889 and has been steadily growing, now it is one of the largest department stores in the county.”

Claus Holst (1853-1924) came with his wife Augusta to Mishicot in l880, from Potter, Wi. and started the store. With time his two sons, Arthur A. and Hugo F. joined in the business and it became known as A. Holst and Sons. It is believed the “A” came from his wife’s name Augusta. The building was made in three sections across from the Badger Hotel (Cozy Corner Restaurant) on Main St., with living quarters in the back. The establishment was a typical country store with groceries, dry goods and men’s and women’s ready to wear. In 1918, Hugo and Arthur took over the business. In 1940, Arthur died, and his widow, Eva, (1893-1980) remained in partnership for three years, disposing of her share to Hugo. Arthur and his wife Eva, had lived in a large Victorian home across the street from the store. It was the first home to have electricity in the village. That house was destroyed in a fire on December 28, 1959. George Schmidt, Eva Holsts’ second husband died in that accident. After the fire, the home was torn down and the building which now houses the village hall was built on that location. Hugo died in 1967 and his wife Nora in 1971. They had no surviving children. Hugo Holst was a long time civic leader, the first village president and the first president of the Mishicot Lions. He was active in Red Cross circles for years and served as county chairman.

The Holst Sons Store continued in business until 1963 when it was sold and purchased by George Krause and Ed Krajnik. According to an article by Marge Miley of the Herald Times Reporter, one end of the building was razed by Krajnik to provide more space for his Chevrolet automobile business. The remainder of the store was remodeled by Krause who continued the grocery business, sold work shoes and added appliances and television sets.

When Krause built his modern supermarket in 1970 in the present location of the Mishicot Family Market, he sold the former Holst property to Krajnik. The old store was razed for parking and (as of publication) belongs to Terry Ernest Wholesale Car Sales.

Many people still have memories of The Holst Store. Some have the various patron gifts that were given out over the years. There are many stories in the 160 year history of our village. Holst Sons Co. is one of them. Yesterday or today our businesses are successful because of you… the customer. Please shop locally!

Two copies of a mystery photo captured on Main Street in Mishicot, Wisconsin. The photo depicts a streetcar traveling down the center of the street, though no documentation of a matching transit system in Mishicot exists. It’s possible that the photo was manipulated — note the lack of shadows from the streetcar cast on the ground. Its discovery predates the invention of photo editing software.
