Econ-O-Wash Laundry
Sadie Gruenwald, of Portage, opened a self service laundry in the former Knoblock Sheet Metal & Heating building at 434 E. Main in September 1959.
It was open 24 hours a day with 20 coin operated washers & 8 commercial type dryers.
Mrs. Gruenwald soon found more dryer were necessary & so she added six more on the opposite wall.
Three larger commercial type washers were also added in later years.
Due to ill health, "Sadie" sold her business to Ed Dykstra in 1972, and he operates it today.Acquisition
