Radue's Resort
This resort was built was built by William Radue on Big St. Germain Lake and he owned 3000' of frontage at the time. He purchased this in 1946 for 50¢ a shoreline foot. Radue eventually sold the resort to Voek (first name unknown) for $5.00 a shoreline foot. The new owner renamed the place Voek's Resort. In time, he sold it to Paul Manhardt. Paul changed the name to Clear View Resort (Clear View eventually merges into Clearview). When Paul passed away, his son-in-law, Barney Anderson, continued to operate it. It went through a few owners after that. "Bo" and Laurie Bodecker leased it for a time. The resort was purchased again and condoed and the supper club was purchased by Frank Ignatius. Frank and his wife, Gloria, turned it into one of the most popular eating places in the area. They operated it for eight years, then it was purchased by the Fath family, who also own Fath's Big Woods Resort on Big St. Germain Lake.

Rux's Standard Station
Rux's Standard Station is long gone, but it was located on the site across from the Red Brick School where the Subway now sits. It was built and operated by Clarence Rux and was the third commercial building in what is now the mall and junction area. This picture was taken from the Chamber of Commerce. The small trailer on the site is Jeannes Weinies which is no longer there.
