WAUSAU -- This kingpin city of the Wis-
consin Valley is no longer the "far away place"
which its Chippewa Indian name means. Thanks
to improved communication and transportation,
the products of its widely diversified industry, along
with the dairy products of Marathon County, go
far and wide.
Wausau now has more than 60 well diversified
manufacturing establishments employing nearly
9,000 persons and with an annual payroll in excess
of $40 million. Products include paper and paper
packaging, lumber and building materials, veneer,
batteries, fishing tackle, shoes, roofing granules,
electric motors, metal plates, metal windows, foun-
dries, industrial machinery, road building machin-
ery, ventilators, trailer parts, paints, raincoats,
vanillin, piston rings, cheese and other dairy prod-
ucts and it is the home of the third largest writer
of compensation insurance in the nation.
Wausau has 479 retail establishments with sales
totaling about $50 million and nearly 70 whole-
sale establishments with sales of about $30 mil-
lion. Bank clearings set an all-time record of more
than $500 million last year.
Wausau has an outstanding library and two
modern, well-equipped hospitals which have been
of great service to Town of Stettin residents.
Yawkey Home, 203 Mclndoe St., the home of the
Marathon County Historical Society, is an increas-
ingly popular place and the society has won awards
as an outstanding local unit in the state.
Stettin is proud of its "Big Brother" to the east.
VILLAGE AND TOWN OF MARATHON
-- The Village of Marathon, which observed its
Centennial in 1957, has had a close relationship

with the western sections of the Town of Stettin
for the past century. Their economic growth has
been closely intertwined with one another.
Marathon, like Wausau has a number of thriv-
ing industries and business firms. There were 205
houses in the village in the Centennial year.
The Town of Marathon, while its growth was
not as spectacular as other surrounding townships
in the early years, has come along fast in recent
years and is another agricultural leader in an agri-
cultural county.
TOWNSHIPS OF RIB FALLS, HAMBURG,
BERLIN AND MAINE -- These townships, com-
pleting the ring around Stettin, enjoyed much
the same agricultural growth which Stettin did dur-
ing the past century, although none have been able
to keep up with population gains recorded by
Stettin in recent years.
Rib Falls for some years was a part of Stettin.
Hamburg is the home of the Fromm Brothers
Ranch, internationally noted for their furs. Berlin
was for some years the population leader among
townships of Marathon County. And Maine is
covered with rich farms and has the important
quarry which provides quartzite for roofing gran-
ules manufactured in Wausau.
MOSINEE AND WESTON -- Stettin also sa-
lutes two nearby neighbors, the City of Mosinee
and the Town of Weston, which held recent cen-
tennial celebrations. The Mosinee event was in
1957, while Weston celebrated last year.
The area has been blessed with a liberal share of
natural resources and its industrious people, for
a century and more, have made the most of them.
