Preserving Tradition

The year is 1932. Henry Ford just introduced his last great personal engineering triumph: his “en block”, or one piece, V-8 engine. Our U.S. Olympic gymnastic team members, George Gulack and William Denton, won the gold and silver medals in the still ring competition at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Back at home, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Joseph A. Beerntsen founded Beerntsen’s Candies and established a tradition that lives on today.
