CHARLES KRONICK
Minneapolis is proud to number among her representative citizens and self-made
men, Charles Kronick, president of the Kronick Cleaning & Laundry Company, one
of the foremost enterprises of its kind in the Northwest.
Charles Kronick was born in Poland on the 20th of March, 1873, received his
education in the public schools of the old country, and there learned the
cleaning and dying business. In 1890 he came to the United States, having heard
that this was the land of opportunity, and he immediately located in
Minneapolis. He was active in various capacities until 1893, when he established
a business of his own under the name of Charles Kronick. At the end of a year
Mr. Gross became his partner and the firm of Gross & Kronick was maintained
until 1902, when the partnership was dissolved and Mr. Kronick established his
present business, of which he is the president. He has proven himself to be a
business man of great executive ability and well merits the success he has
achieved. His cleaning and laundry concern has grown to be the largest in the
Northwest, having in its employ some two hundred people. Mr. Kronick erected the
present quarters at No. 1501 Nicolett avenue six years ago.
In Minneapolis, in 1902, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Kronick and Miss
Elizabeth Weiss. To their union four children have been born: Ruth W., Sigmund
H., Beverley S. and Monroe A.
In his political views Mr. Kronick is a republican and he gives stanch support
to that party, having firm belief in its principles as factors in good
government. Fraternally he is identified with the Masons, holding membership in
Hennepin Lodge, No. 4, and he is a member of Lodge No. 44, of the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks. Mr. Kronick is essentially public-spirited and as a
member of the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce Association he takes an active
interest in the furtherance of any movement for the benefit of the community at
large. Along strictly business lines he is identified with the National Cleaners
& Dyers Association and the National Laundry Association. He likewise holds
membership in the Loring Commercial Club, and is a member of B'nai B'rith and
Gymal Doled. The best principles of honesty and integrity have governed Mr.
Kronick in all of his dealings and he commands the respect and esteem of all
with whom he comes into contact. He is sincerely devoted to his family and he
and his wife have a large circle of friends. Mr. Kronick's hobby is golf and he
is a member of the Oak Ridge Golf Club.
