STETTIN'S

MAIN

STREET

Officially it has another name, but the Town of
Stettin still has its "Main Street." Now called
"Westgate Shopping Center."
Highway 29, once just a trail through the woods,
later a thoroughfare for cross-state travelers and
area residents motoring in and out of Wausau,
is now a busy business area along the eastern end
of the township.
The stores in this area are as modern, progressive
and competitive as those in any other area com-
munity. Several have introduced modern shop-
ping innovations, notably the 29 Super Market
with its many service features, and The Sub-
urban, a self-selection department store.
Springing up with pretty residences as well as
impressive business and industrial properties, this
busy area has most of the more than 100 business
establishments of the township.
Even more impressive is the unusual variety of
stores in this fast-growing suburban shopping and
residential area. The firms range from driveins
to department stores, from supermarkets to farm
machinery, from heating contractors to machine
shops, from trucking firms to well drillers, from
plastering contractors to bottle gas plants, from

soft drink bottling to taverns, from used car auc-
tions to car salvage yards, from building supplies
to filling stations, from a body repair shop to live-
stock sales barn, from motels to a mobile home deal-
er, from tree nurseries and florists to an ornamental
iron shop, and from upholstering to excavating.
Some of the firms along the south side of High-
way 29, in the Westgate Shopping Center, start-
ing at the Wausau City limits, are:
Zell & Zell Tavern, The Suburban Department
Store, Suburban Drugs, 29 Super Market, Day's

Works, Wausau Auto Auction Co., Wausau Ma-
chine & Tool Co., Sunset Bar, Bluhm's Motel, Al-
len Mobile Homes, Larry's Body Shop and the

Shopping Center are: Horak's Texaco Service Sta-
tion, Britespot Drivein, Stettin Mutual Insurance
Co., the CTL Co., West Hill Floral, the Tastee
Freez Drivein, Beckman's Standard Service, Mar-
lene Motel, John Sloan Trucking, Sunbeam Gar-
dens Nursery, Modern Builders & Suppliers, White

Eagle Club, Pine Valley Truck Stop, Huehnerfuss
Bar and the Oscar Strachota & Sons Sales Barn.
Interspersed among these business firms and on
streets behind them are clusters of modern homes,
with pretty pastel colors and many trimmed in at-
tractive brick or stone. Some, particularly in the
popular Pinecrest community, are among the fin-
est and most attractive in the Wausau area.
