Wilson, North Carolina, USA - Oettingers The Dependable Store: A Beacon of Trust and Goodwill in the Community (1906) This photograph showcases Oettingers The Dependable Store, the leading establishment in Wilson, North Carolina, during the early 1900s. The store, with its striking frontage and inviting atmosphere, was a staple of the town and a testament to the enduring spirit of its founders, Henry and Leopold Oettinger. Emigrating from Wurttemberg, Germany, in 1860, the brothers Henry and Leopold Oettinger brought with them a strong work ethic and a commitment to providing exceptional customer service. They established their store in Wilson and quickly gained a reputation for dependability and fairness. The store's motto, "It pays to Deal at Oettinger's," reflected their belief in the value of a good business relationship and the importance of treating customers with respect. The reverse of this charming card features a delightful motto: "GOOD WILL is the disposition of the pleased customer to return to the place where he has been well treated." This sentiment, drawn from the U.S. Supreme Court, encapsulates the essence of Oettingers The Dependable Store and the bond it shared with its customers. As the first Jewish immigrants to settle in Wilson, the Oettinger brothers faced numerous challenges in their new home. Yet, through their unwavering commitment to their community and their customers, they built a thriving business that stood the test of time. This photograph, taken in 1906, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power of trust, goodwill, and the enduring spirit of entrepreneurship.
