Legislative Committee to Meet Monday,
November 17 and You Are Invited!
By Jan Ludtke
Executive Director
Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce
Recollections of holidays…
I can see my breath visible in the cold
morning air as I discover November has
arrived. Holidays are rolling in quickly on
our calendars but there’s even more happening before Thanksgiving gets here.
Most of us will have recollections of
past Thanksgivings and Christmas
holidays. It’s all about family, good food,
friends and tradition and you save those
memories. Nothing will warm you up (at
least warm up your mind and heart)
faster!
Some traditions and memories are
much more recent. In Burlington,
November also brings an evening party
atmosphere when you unveil a lot
…November 21st!
Everyone’s invited! Get ready for your
15 minutes of fame at the “Light up the
Night” Party throughout downtown
Burlington. You know you’ve seen the
“Hollywood” type search lights signaling
that special November Night in
Burlington. Stop wondering why those
lights are here and come on out.
Don’t miss it November 21. Discover
this and lots more on our calendar of
events at www.burlingtonchamber.org.
The Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce facilitates the Legislative meetings that are held regularly when the state legislators are in session. Meetings are
currently held at Gateway Technical College, 496 S. McCanna Parkway, in
Burlington; meetings are held strictly to a 7 AM to 8:15 AM agenda in order that
the public and elected officials can get to their respective places of business in a
timely manner. The Chamber office provides a continental breakfast and coffee.
We would like to welcome you, the public, to attend the meetings. It is a
great opportunity to really get to know your elected officials and talk to them on
a one-to-one basis. Please RSVP to the Chamber at 763-6044 if you plan to attend
our November 17 meeting.
The Governmental Relations and Communications Committee was formed
in 1982 by Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce as an ongoing committee to
further communication and exchange of issues and ideas between elected officials
on a city, town, county and state basis and their constituents, discussing governmental and political issues relevant to the Burlington area. Founded by Dr. R. M.
Sorenson and Bill Branen, its purpose is to educate the attendees and the public
on issues and bills currently before each elected group, as well as give the
constituents an opportunity to present suggestions, needs and problems to the
officials. Commonly referred to as the Legislative Meeting, this has been an
extremely beneficial event for nearly thirty years.
Burlington
Gift Checks –
Looking for the perfect holiday, birthday or
anniversary gift? Burlington Area Chamber of
Commerce Gift Checks make an ideal “thank you” gift for babysitters,
teachers or that special client. They also are perfect for graduations,
employee appreciation and thank you gifts. Certificates are available for
purchase at Associated Bank and Johnson Bank in Burlington.
The checks are available in any amount of $10.00 or more and they will
be made out to "Any Burlington Area Business" in the amount that you
request. There is a designated line on the check for you to fill in the
recipient's name.
This is how it works for any merchant. Any Burlington Area Business
can accept the gift check. Merchants simply deposit the check with their
regular business deposit.
e’re proud to present the November 2014 issue of Burlington – Discover the
Treasures, a monthly advertising issue published by the Burlington Area Chamber
of Commerce. All editorial content is provided by the Burlington Area Chamber of
Commerce. This publication is made possible through the generous support of Chamber

Questions? If you have any questions on how to handle these
checks that support our “buying locally” program, please call the
Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce at 763-6044, Associated Bank at
763-9146 or Johnson Bank at 757-1150.
Many businesses display signage encouraging gift check redemption.
Businesses do not have to be Chamber members to participate. Businesses
accepting the gift checks just deposit the checks with their normal bank
deposits at their respective banks. Think of the possibilities - grocery stores,
clothing, hardware, jewelry, appliance, restaurants, all businesses benefit.
Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce would like to take this opportunity
to thank you for your continued support of our fine community. We hope
that this program will continue to be of value to you and your company.
Remember to stop by the banks that sponsor this program to purchase the
Gift Certificates. If your business needs a larger quantity, please call ahead
to make the arrangements.

How to Research the Best Keywords
Finding and utilizing the correct keywords is essential when creating a strong search
engine optimization (SEO) strategy. Keywords can help your site rank high in search
engines, which will drive more traffic to your site. Your keywords should be the
foundation on which your website content is created; the right keywords can take
you from some unknown business to one of the top ranked websites in your area.
Here are a few tips to identify strong keywords to fit your business:
1. Identify Goals
Compile a list of relevant keywords and phrases related to your industry. Avoid using
broad words and phrases. Be as specific as possible. For example, you don’t just sell
“pens”, you sell “gel pens”, you sell “multi-colored gel pens”, you sell “long lasting
multi-colored gel pens”- you get the idea.
2. Research Your Audience
It’s important to understand what your potential audience is searching for. Do some
digging on Google and social media to see what terms people are using to find your
product or service. Avoid using jargon and focus on the words customers are using in
conversation.
3. Know Your Competition
Research what the top competitors in your business’s niche are using for their
keywords. Go to moz.com or Google AdWords and see how your keywords are

Hayley Schneider,
Schneider Family Dentistry
I have been a member of the Burlington Area Chamber for a
couple years. I enjoy being a part of something that has such a
great impact on our community! I have been working at
Schneider Family Dentistry since 2006. I am also a volunteer
for the Rochester Fire Dept. When I am not working I enjoy spending time
with my family and friends and spend as much time as I can scrapbooking.
The recipe above is one loved by the Schneider Family and has been passed
on for a few years. Enjoy!

A half dozen horses stand quietly below the
bend on Chestnut Street in this early 1900s photo as a
couple converses under the clock in front of the
L. J. Crawford jewelry store. The photo, thought to
have been taken by Howard A. Wood about 1908, was
donated to the Burlington Historical Society by Judy
Townsend.
The buildings seen on the southwest side of
Chestnut Street from the bend west to what is now
Milwaukee Avenue, except for the three-story Jones
House hotel building on the corner, are still a familiar
sight in downtown Burlington. The hotel building
suffered a fire in October 1968, after which the upper
floors were demolished while the exterior walls of the
ground floor were salvaged. That site was most
recently occupied by Coach’s Sports Bar and Grill.
At the time of the photo, Frank Stang’s
Burlington Enterprise, a clothing and furnishings
store, occupied the Fenn building at the bend.
Photographer Charles E. Clench had his photo gallery
on the second floor. Stang, whose circus venture with
his brother Lorenz in the early 1890s had been unsuccessful, bought the clothing and furnishings business
in 1893 and operated it until his death in 1923.
Frank’s nephew, Lawrence J. Stang, Jr., operated the
store until 1957, changing the name in 1939 to L. J.
Stang’s. Subsequent occupants of the Fenn Building,
among others, included Pieters Men’s Wear,
Burlington Savings and Loan, Barton’s Junior Scene,
Kids Corner, Bob’s Pedal Pusher, S & S Ceramics and
Crafts, Scene Two consignment shop, and the Jasmine
Tree. The insurance office of the Kristen Olsen Agency
currently occupies the site.
C. G. Foltz and Son’s clothing and dry goods
store occupied the large Buell Block building at the
time of the photo. Attorney Edward E. Mills had his
office on the second floor. Later second floor
occupants included dentists Dr. C. E. Bottomley, Dr.
A. J. Ketterhagen, and Dr. L. E. Ryall, and osteopathic
physician and surgeon Dr. John W. Klema. The Foltz
store went out of business in 1927, after which Albert
and Joseph Pieters moved their Pieters Brothers dry
goods store into the building. A 20 by 40 foot extension was added at the rear of the building in 1957 and
Jazzy “BOGO” Special:
Buy November...Get December
the store’s name was
changed to Pieters
Department Store. The
Pieters’ store closed in
1965. It was followed by
Barton’s Department
Store. After Barton’s
closed in 1985, Anton
Heindel and Shad and
Robert Branen bought the
building, which is now
known as The Loop. A
variety of small businesses and offices have occupied the building over the
ensuing years. Current
occupants include
Delights, Massages by
Nikki, the office of
certified public accountant
Richard A. Van Hoesen,
and Gia Bella Flowers and
Gifts.
Prasch Brothers drug and book store, Matt
Cunningham’s dry goods and clothing store, and the
Bank of Burlington occupied the next three stores
(collectively called the Jones Building), each with
three rounded-top windows in the upper story.
Charles J. Jones had put up the store buildings in
1868. Martin G. Prasch bought Charles Wood’s drug
store in 1877 and, in 1881, formed a partnership with
his brother, Frank H. Prasch. Simeon M. Reinardy
bought the Prasch drug store in 1910 and operated it
at this location until 1939 when he moved his drug
store to the Jones Block next to the Jones House hotel.
Subsequent occupants included Gamble Store, Rueter
and Hannas men’s clothing store, Barton’s Men’s
Store, and the Rustic Hut Boutique. The current occupant, The Shy Violet, opened in the building in 1998.
Matt Cunningham, whose clothing and dry
goods business occupied the Jones Building’s center
store at the time of the photo, had entered into a
partnership with his brother-in-law Leonard J. Smith
in 1880 and became sole owner in 1891. He sold his
men’s clothing business to Oswald Rittman and
Edmund Johnson in 1910 and his dry goods business
to Albert and Joseph Pieters in 1913. Rittman and
Johnson moved the men’s clothing business into the
adjoining store while the Pieters brothers remained in
the former Cunningham store until 1927, when they
moved to the Buell Block. A Universal Grocery store,
which was bought by the
Kroger Grocery and Baking
Co. in 1928, followed after
the Pieters moved out.
Kroger moved its grocery
store to the building now
occupied by the Super
Mercado El Chava market
in 1943, and a Ben Franklin

1951. Killen’s Downtown Ben Franklin, which closed
in 1985, was followed by a women’s apparel store
called Fashion Fashion, a Goodwill store, and various
businesses, including Chocolate City Souvenirs,
J. Roberts clothing store, and Eagle Vision. Current
occupants are the Burlington Area Chamber of
Commerce and Burlington Menswear.
The Bank of Burlington, which occupied the
Jones Building’s third store at the time of the photo,
moved to the newly built McCanna building on the
corner of Chestnut and Pine streets in 1910. That
building is now the site of May’s Insurance. After the
bank moved, Johnson and Rittman opened their
men’s clothing business in the former bank quarters.
When Rittman retired in 1922, Joseph Rueter and
Alois Woeste joined Johnson in the clothing store. In
1934 Mark Hannas bought Johnson’s interest and the
store’s name was changed to Rueter and Hannas.
After Rueter and Hannas moved across the street and
Kroger moved out of the adjoining store in 1943, the
wall separating the two stores was removed to
provide space for the Ben Franklin store.
The Jones Block, built next to the Jones House
hotel in 1874, was occupied by Mrs. Arlina
DeLaplain's millinery store at the time of the photo.
Martina Wiemer (later Mrs. George Zwiebel) and her
sister Effie (later Mrs. William Rothering) bought Mrs.
DeLaplain’s business in 1909. Martina operated the
business until 1917, when she sold it to Mary and
Nancy Cunningham. The Cunningham Hat Shop
remained in the Jones Block until 1939, when S. M.
Reinardy leased the building and moved his drug
store there, turning over active management to his
son, Francis. After the Reinardy Drug Store closed in
January 1980, Gingham Dog Antiques opened in the
building. The current occupant is MPC Property
Management.
Burlington Historical Museum and
Pioneer Cabin are staffed by volunteers.

The Chamber’s Valued Partners
by Tom Lebak
The Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce, like many organizations, deals with
the delicate balance of having a membership fee structure sufficient to support
operations without financially overburdening its membership. Of course, the
Chamber does have fund raisers to augment member dues, revenue from the room
tax and there is the occasional grant or special project that comes with funds to
accomplish the task but without the dependability and dedication of dues-paying
members, there would be no Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately as well for the
Burlington Chamber, there is another layer of financial support known as the
Corporate Partners.

Corporate Partners pay a fee beyond and significantly higher than their regular
dues payment which not only gives the Chamber further financial stability but also
gives it the flexibility to do things that otherwise it might not consider doing. Since
its inception in 1997, Corporate Partners have made it possible for the Chamber to
do office technology upgrades and expand its annual program of work and events
by providing the key supplementary funding that the operating budget could not.

In more recent years, Corporate Partner membership funding has played an integral
part in the very exciting direction that the Chamber has gone in terms of communication and marketing media. Having been out of the area and not involved locally
for quite a few years what I have noticed above all else is the high degree to which
the Chamber is communicating and promoting the word about the Burlington area
throughout the State and across State lines. Publications such as the Membership
Directory, “Focus! on Burlington Business” monthly newsletter, “Discover the
Treasures´ and the myriad flyers, brochures and other printed material are both
informative and attractively done. Corporate Partner membership has given the
Chamber the supplementary dollars to enable it to venture into these new and
rewarding areas and it has been paying dividends for the community.

Currently, there are twenty-seven Corporate Partners covering three categories.
There are four businesses in the “Chairman” level at an annual investment of $3,500.
Four businesses comprise the “Executive” category at $2,500 per year. The third
classification, the “Leader” level, requires a $1,000 annual contribution and currently
has an enrollment of seventeen. It should be noted that there are some attractive
tangible benefits to being a Corporate Partner in addition to the satisfaction that
comes from knowing that as a Partner you will be directly contributing to the
enhanced ability of the Chamber to “sell” Burlington. Depending on the level of
investment, Corporate Partners receive free tickets to the Annual Dinner, golf outing
and other events such as the Home Show and all Business After Hours programs.
There is also free business recognition in the various Chamber publications, again
depending on the level of investment.

The Chamber is very appreciative of all its members for their investment of time,
talent and money in making Burlington a great place to live and in helping to
nurture a healthy business environment. And while Chamber leadership acknowledges that every member may not be able to be a Corporate Partner, it would be
remiss if it did not acknowledge the additional financial commitment of the
Corporate Partners and the opportunity it affords the Chamber to do an even more
expansive and effective job.
