It was first known in 1872 as Kurkee &amp; Cummings ; later Cummings ; and then Earl W. Gsell.  In 1923, a partnership was formed with Earl W. Gsell and Oscar L. Lundgren, retaining the Earl W. Gsell name.  After Mr. Gsell's demise, the business continued in the same with Oscar L. Lundgren sole owner.  The three stores were sold to Caesar A. Garibaldi in 1974 who continues the business in the same name.  The business is now 107 years old.  Prepared by Oscar L. Lundgren (signed), July 1979.</p>
