He also served as city treasurer for Little Falls for 44 years, was on the city council for 3 terms, served as president of the Chamber of Commerce for a time, helped organize Little Falls Federal Savings and Loan, and was a founding partner of the Little Falls Black Granite Company. This book was donated to MCHS by Don Derosier, who took over as owner of the Girtz Barbershop, which was located in the Vertin Block, the building that was built by John Vertin and served as the home for his business. The barbershop was started by Joseph Girtz, whose wife was Agnes (Vertin) Girtz, one of John Vertin's daughters.
