Forsberg Brothers, general merchants, have the leading mercantile 
establishment in South Haven. It was organized February 1, 1911, when 
Albert T. and Clarence V. Forsberg, both young men of considerable business 
experience, purchased the general store of C. F. Peterson. The entire

This is a modern, fire-proof brick structure, one story, 34 by 70 feet,
