“Korte-built in 1960 on Broadway. It’s now occupied by the City of Highland. It was owned by Joe Korte who is now deceased, Al Korte his brother who is now deceased and Cal Schwend, Gene Schwend’s brother, who is also now deceased.
Cal was bought out in 1962, as he wanted to open his own shop in Trenton known as Cal’s Meat Market.
Al Korte left and took with him a young meat cutter, Don Richter, to do meat butchering and processing only – no groceries – in 1968. Korte Construction built for them also, what started out as Korte/Richter Meat Processing and is now Korte Meats in the west end of Highland.” — Ralph Korte, recently talking about the work he did for Neubauers Market in 1960
