City of La Crosse S. NEUMAN, merchant and member of the firm of H. Berger & Co., was born in Prussia in 1822; came to America in 1848; lived one year in New York City; then went to Washington Co., N. Y., and engaged in merchandising till 1858, firm of Neuman & Cantrovitz. They came to La Crosse in that year, and continued in business together till 1877, when Mr. Cantrovitz went to Milwaukee and engaged in the wholesale cigar trade, and Mr. Neuman continued business alone till the present partnership was formed, in the fall of 1879. They were located in Healey's Block, corner of Second and Main streets (double store, 22x70 and 30x70, with basement), and keep a stock of dry goods, clothing and millinery goods. Mr. Neuman has been in the dry goods trade in La Crosse longer than any other man, except Mons Anderson. [I am not related to this family and have no further information.
