News Mention:
When August 1st rolls around next week Sylvester (Ves) Berens will be taking note of an anniversary of some distinction in Kaukauna business. It will be 50 years since he went to work selling clothing, in the same location where he now operates his store, 115 E. 2nd St. At that time the store was owned by W. S. Mulford and Ves as a youth took up the hustling tradition. He became Mulford's star salesman and later manager of the store when Mulford moved out of state in 1933.
