- FRANK E. BEHRENDT is proprietor of the Windsor Hotel, of
Janesville, an elegant three-story
- brick building just completed, and furnished throughout with
fine new furniture, bedding, tableware and everything required
to make a complete first-class house. It contains forty rooms,
including sample rooms, all well lighted and ventilated; the
sleeping apartments are large and cheerful and the halls are
wide, fully lighted and afford good ventilation. The house is
heated throughout by steam, with hot and cold water, bath rooms
and a system of electric bells, in fact most complete in all
its appointments. Mr. BEHRENDT, the proprietor, is a courteous
gentleman, and having had several years experience as a traveling
man, it has taught him what the modern traveler expects to find
in a well appointed, first-class hotel. He has had charge of
the construction and fitting up of the Windsor, which was opened
on the 26th day of January, 1889, and has spared no pains or
expense in making his house a model establishment of its kind.
- Mr. BEHRENDT was born in Janesville Sept. 29, 1866, and is
the son of Anton and Mary
- (NEWMAN) BEHRENDT. He was educated in the city schools, after
which he spent three and a half years in learning the jeweler's
trade, and in 1885 began traveling as salesman for the Leonard
Silk Company. Later, he was with the Nonotuck Silk Company, continuing
with the last named until July, 1888, when he left the road to
superintend the building and furnishing of the Windsor. He is
a member of the Commercial Traveling Men's Association, of Janesville,
and is one of the promising young business men of the city.
