THEODORE A. LIEBERT.

Theodore A. Liebert is a successful grocery merchant of Yakima, conducting his
business at No. 210 Seventh avenue, South. He was born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin,
on the 10th of June, 1877, a son of Fred and Minnie Liebert, who removed from
Wisconsin to Crookston, Minnesota, where the father continued to reside to the
time of his demise. Throughout his active business career he was successfully
engaged in general agricultural pursuits. His widow still survives and now makes
her home in Yakima.

Theodore A. Liebert supplemented his early educational training by a course in a
business college at Crookston, Minnesota, and after putting aside his textbooks
became associated with J. H. Peterson in the soda water bottling business, being
thus engaged at Crookston for a period of eleven years. In 1907 he made his way
to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he spent a year and a half, and in 1909 came to
Washington, entering the service of the Western Engineering Company at Tacoma.
It was in 1911 that he arrived in Yakima, having the previous year purchased the
grocery store of George Surbridge at No. 214 Seventh avenue, South, where he
carried on business until 1917, when he moved into the new building at No. 210
Seventh avenue, South. Here he carries a large stock of staple and fancy
groceries and his trade has steadily grown until it has now reached extensive
and profitable proportions, for his business methods are characterized by the
utmost integrity and he has ever recognized the fact that satisfied customers
are the best advertisement.

In October, 1901, Mr. Liebert was united in marriage to Miss Emma Worm, of
Princeton, Wisconsin, by whom he has three children: Laura, Margaret and Carl.
In politics he is independent, always considering the capability of a candidate
rather than his party affiliation. His religious faith is that of the Lutheran
church and his life has been governed by its teachings. A man of genuine
personal worth, he has become widely and favorably known through business and
social connections and enjoys an enviable reputation as one of the substantial
merchants of Yakima.
