HUDSON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
Jersey City, New Jersey, April 19, 1889. Securing a practical education in the public schools of his birthplace, Mr. Saedler devoted the early years of his career to the gas business, being active in this public service for about six years. Thereafter entering the real estate business he has been very successful, not only from the personal view-point, but in the relation of his activities to the public good. He carries his progressive spirit into all his dealings, meeting the problem of the moment with a clear pre-vision of the future. In addition to this business interest, Mr. Saedler conducts an independent real estate office under the title of W. W. Saedler, Incorporated, the headquarters of both being in the same building at No. 109 Paterson Plank Road, West Hoboken, New Jersey. For a number of years he has been further active as commissioner of deeds and notary public. Long a member of the Hudson County Democratic Club, and for four years its vice-president, he bears a part in the local advance of the party, but prefers to leave the honors of leadership to others. His religious affiliation is with the First Presbyterian church of Jersey City. Mr. Saedler is unmarried.
HELLINGHAUSEN, Frank Richard,
Business Man.
As sole owner of the Eagan Letter Company, of Hoboken, Frank Richard Hellinghausen, is at the head of a prosperous concern which is steadily increasing both its patronage and the range of its stock. Mr. Hellinghausen has had a varied experience which has well qualified him for the successful conduct of a business of his own.
The parents of Mr. Hellinghausen, Joseph and Julia (Euteneuer) Hellinghausen, were born in Germany, where the former had been in military service. They came to this country in 1888, and settled in West Hoboken, where Frank Richard was born, November 26, 1894.
Mr. Hellinghausen received a good practical education in the Weehawken public schools and in Holy Family Parochial School and then began his active career as an employe of the United Cigar Company, with whom he remained for a year and a half in the multigraphing department. He then became identified with the American Multigraph Sales Company as multigraph demonstrator, and that position he held for one year. His next connection was with the Feigenspan Brewery Company, with whom he remained for six years. Upon the entrance of the United States into the World War, he entered the service of the United States Food Administration Bureau, in the State headquarters at Newark, New Jersey, taking charge of the multigraph and mailing department. After the close of the war he found employment with Henry Heide, Inc., of New York City, in which connection he rendered efficient service for a period of two years. By this time he had acquired suitable experience and decided to engage in business for himself, but a favorable opportunity presenting itself, he instead accepted a position with the Eagan Letter Company. In 1921, he was admitted to partnership in that concern, with John J. Eagan, and in 1922 he purchased Mr. Eagan's interest and became sole owner of the business. Since that time he has fully demonstrated his ability to manage an important establishment, and under his wise direction the Eagan Letter Company is steadily expanding. Fraternally Mr. Hellinghausen is affliated with the Knights of Columbus of730
