I have more information about the Stille and Duehlmeier furniture company.
Wm. (Bud) Stille was my uncle. His father, (Stille, Sr.) built a furniture manufacturing company with his partner, (Duehleier), How long ago I am not sure. If I had to guess I would say around the 1930s. At the time they were well-known and manufactured quality furniture in the Cincinnati area.
Old man Stille passed away and Bud Stille his son ran the business until around 1960 when the post office bought all the company property (about a block in Cincinnati) to build a new automated post office on.
When the land was sold the furniture company closed also.
Wm. "Bud" Stille and his wife Vera Mae were my aunt and uncle and also my Godparents. I am now 65 and only have first-hand knowledge of this history from all the family stories Aunt Mae and Uncle Bud would tell me while I was growing up. Both of them passed away many years ago.
Besides myself and my brother, I doubt anyone would have any information about the Stille and Duehlmeier furniture company. I am delighted that a piece of their furniture has survived.
Thank you it was nice talking about 2 of my favorite people that I have not thought about for many years. I never intended to be so long-winded but maybe someone will find this information helpful.
Any time. I am always available if anyone has questions about the Stille and Duehlmeier furniture company. I may not know the answer, but I may know where to look.
