OBITUARY
ARNOLD P. GAU
A substantial farmer and stock raiser of Cass Township, Shelby County, Iowa, is Arnold P. GAU, a resident of this county for the past thirty five years. He is a representative German farmer and has met with much success, characteristic of the German citizens of this county. He followed the carpenter's trade for several years and then became interested in farming. Since changing his occupation, he has been remarkably successful. He is a man of keen integrity and great honor.
Arnold P. GAU, son of Chris and Ann (PICARD) GAU, was born May 16, 1875 in Lincoln Township. His father was a native of Germany and came to this country with his parents in his boyhood days. He located in Wisconsin, where he lived until after his marriage. His wife was born in that state, and they are still living in this county. Chris Gau and his family located in Lincoln Township, this county, in 1874 and later located in Cass Township. Chris Gau was a carpenter and farmer. Eleven children were born to Chris Gau and wife: Joseph, Arnold, Peter, Albert, Margaret, Frederick, Chris, Matilda, William, Annie and Kerney.
Arnold P. Gau was born in Iowa. Most of his education was received in the schools of Cass township. After leaving school, he took up the carpenter's trade with his father and followed that trade until twenty-one, when he became a contractor and builder. In 1902 he purchased a farm of 120 acres in Cass Township, and farmed it for ten years, when he sold it and bought a farm of 240 acres in the same township, on which he is now living. Since acquiring this farm, he has placed about five thousand dollars' worth of improvements on it. He now has one of the most attractive farms in the county. Much of his time and attention have been directed to the raising and breeding of livestock. He raises a large amount of corn each year and feeds it to his hogs and cattle.
Mr. Gau was married in 1899, at Portsmouth, Iowa, to Anna LEINEN, daughter of Mathias and Anna LEINEN, and to this union have been born five children: Arnold, Andrew, Mary, Michael and Pauline, all of whom are still living with their parents. Mrs. Gau's parents were natives of Germany and came to America and located in Shelby county early in its history. They are still living in the county.
Mr. Gau and his family are all devoted members of the Catholic church. He is a member of the Roman Catholic Mutual Protective Society. In politics, he has never been a partisan, but has chosen rather to cast his ballot for the best man, irrespective of their political affiliations. He is a man of progressive ideas, deeply interested in the welfare of those about him and has always given his hearty support to all worthy movements and measures.

Frank Anton and Katherine [Conrad] Lutz immigrated to America in May of 1847 and settled in Pennsylvania. According to family stories, they lived at Elizabethtown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but we first find them in the 1850 census living in the Borough of Lebanon, Lebanon County, Penn. Frank Anton Lutz's occupation is given as a carpenter. In the same census, we also find Libourius and Rachel Conrad living in the Borough of Lebanon. By 1855, Frank Anton Lutz had moved to Peoria, Illinois, where they lived about 9 years.
On January 25, 1864, Frank Lutz purchased 140 acres of land in Sections 17 and 27, Twp. 75, Rge. 10 in Clear Creek Township, Keokuk County, Iowa from John Shockley for $1800.00. He purchased additional land at later dates. On December 29, 1898, Frank Lutz sold his farm, then consisting of 300 acres, to his son-in-law, Frank B. Vogel, but remained on the farm living with his daughter and son-in-law until his death in 1906. This farm land remained in the Vogel families until 1953, when part of it was sold to Dean Morris. This balance of the farm was sold in 1957 to James F. Greiner.

On February 25, 1875, F. A. Lutz purchased 160 acres described as NW 1/4 of Sec. 2, Twp. 75, Rge. 10, just south of where Highway 92 is now located. On April 22, 1879, he sold this land as follows: 40 acres to his son, Jacob; 40 acres to his son-in-law, George Greiner; and 80 acres to his son-in-law, Joseph Pfifer. An Additional 80 acres described as the W 1/2 SE 1/4 of Sec. 35, Twp. 76, Rge. 10 that F. A. Lutz purchased May 7, 1874 was sold to his son, Frances, on April 22, 1881.
In addition to farming, Frank Lutz was a carpenter and built his home of mostly walnut timber. He had a vineyard and made wine for the priests to use at Mass. He also had a large orchard and grafted his own trees and had a large blackberry patch.
The 1880 Agricultural Census of Keokuk County, Iowa, shows the following information concerning the Frank Anton Lutz farm:
106 acres tilled land 38 acres grass land mown
165 swine
145 acres pasture or orchard 75 acres not mown

122 ARTICLE FROM IN THE FRONT ROW A FULLER BRUSH PUBLICATION

Vernon F. Vogel, Wichita Branch Manager
In 1939, 21 year old farm boy Vernon F. Vogel wanted a new automobile more than anything else in the world. His brother, Ralph, a Field Manager in the Des Moines Branch, had just purchased a shiny new car and Vern was convinced that the Fuller Brush business was for him.
Another brother, Jim, now Des Moines Branch Manager, corroborated Ralph’s glowing description of the profits available through a Fuller Brush dealership. Accordingly, Vern applied for and became a dealer in the Des Moines Branch.

Reached First Goal
Vern’s start was a discouraging one as he relates it. “The first few periods in the business I found that my ancient means of transportation broke down consistently and I mighty fortunate to have Ralph help me out by loaning me his second car. This, plus the fact I had too much pride to be the that would give up kept me going until I reached my first goal after six months - a new car. With this new enthusiasm I was soon able to become one of the top dealers in the branch.”
After a year in the business, Vern was promoted to the position of Field Manager. According to him, “As a Field Manager I was complete flop. Reverting to a dealer status I worked in a section managed by Lloyd Steininger, present Springfield Branch Manager. It was while working as a dealer assistant in his section that I met my wife, Edrie. Many of our dates consisted of contacting the dealers that were assigned to me for help.”
The war interrupted Vern’s career briefly in September, 1941. After returning from the Merchant Marine in 1945, he resumed dealership in the Des Moines Branch. In early 1946 he was again appointed a Field Manager.

The Vogel’s as competitors
The rivalry among the Vogels is spirited and intense. Says Vern, “My brother Jim and I have always enjoyed friendly competition in this business. As dealers in the Des Moines Branch, it was always a close match for a branch leadership. The rivalry continued as we competed against each other as Field Managers for several years until in June, 1951 I was appointed Branch Manager in Wichita. A year and a half later Jim was appointed Branch Manager in Des Moines and the rivalry has continued ever since. This
competition between Jim and me has been a healthy situation for both of us through the years. Neither of us could afford to get complacent or he would soon find himself out of the running.”

Wichita Branch operation
In the operation of the Wichita Branch Vern follows three basic rules. The first is to secure enough interviews each week to assure the required number of new recruits to fill section needs. In this connection his dealer assistants recruit approximately 40% of the men.
The second is to maintain a sufficient number of working contact in the field with each dealer in the section each week. Here again the dealer assistants step in and help out so that no dealer will fail in the business because he did not have proper assistance and guidance.
The third factor which Vern considers important is to give the dealers every possible type of assistance in the proper delivery of the orders to be certain that every dealer makes high profits each week.

Fast display helps
In connection with the actual sale Vern says, “The fast display enables our dealers to make 60 intelligent presentations a day and the triple gift program has a definite psychological effect. By spending a few seconds in giving each gift and commenting on their uses, it relaxes both the customer and the dealer. This tends to give much better communication between them when the dealer goes into the display.”
Currently showing a 27% increase over last year, Vern hopefully looks forward to the time when the Wichita Branch will turn in its first $100,000 period. It is quite likely, that as this is written, he will attain his goal during the 11th Period
NOTE: Wichita Branch sales in 11th Period totaled &110,300. This was $10,000 above quota.
