July 1922 Central News Sweet Shop Ad
The single-story building at 500 W. Market Street was constructed in 1922 by R.E. Oltman as a confectionary store.
After a short time, the business was sold to World War I veteran, Harry Wimmer who opened The Sweet Shop. Specializing in confections, ice cream and cigars, the store was popular especially with children. Also sold at the store was milk, Halloween costumes and in December, Christmas Trees.
After Harry Wimmer began working for Bendix Aviation in the early 1940’s he closed the Sweet Shop.
