Оглавление

Charles J. Kasten is actively identified with one of Milwaukee's representative business Interests as vice president of the Alsted-Kasten Company, jewelers. He was born in Milwaukee in June, 1857, a son of Charles F. and Johanna Kasten. Both parents were born in Bremen, Germany, coming to this country and locating in Milwaukee at an early date.

Mr. Kasten received his education in the Milwaukee public schools and was then apprenticed to John Marr, an engraver, with whom he remained for a period of five years, after which he entered the jewelry business of James H. Hoes. Later, going to Chicago, he associated himself with the jewelry house of S. Hyman Company. In 1880 he returned from Chicago to enter the firm of C. Preusser & Brother. In 1900 he severed his connection with this firm and with his present partners founded the firm of Alsted-Kasten Company, jewelers and silversmiths at 121-123 Wisconsin street.
