Albert Edward Escher
Coming to Hammond in 1890, Mr. Escher really has a place among the early citizens, and has been continuously identified with the business and community affairs of this locality. Energy and enthusiasm has been characteristic of Mr. Escher in all his dealings and relations with his fellowmen, and while he has acquired important interests he has at the same time gained and merited the complete trust and esteem of all men.

With a public school education, Mr. Escher started out in life on his own account, and on locating at Hammond in 1890 secured the management for the distribution and sale of all the Chicago papers in this city. That was a business which naturally grew with the rapid development of the town, and he continued as local circulation manager for fourteen years. Since his first election in 1903, Mr. Escher has been assessor for North Township, and his official record is one of which he may well be proud.
