Scope and content

Partial records of family-run businesses, principally Johnson's Tavern of River Falls, Wisconsin.
Stanley and Emma Johnson opened the tavern with the repeal of prohibition in 1934. Previously, Mr. Johnson had hauled gasoline and, with his brother, operated a meat market. Mrs. Johnson retired in 1973 and in 1986, the business was known as Emma's Bar. The collection is composed almost entirely of financial records, primarily ledgers covering the operation of the tavern. Also present are a few family papers, 1936-1952.
