HERBERT LEO ZIEGENBEIN Saginaw Club President 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945

CONSUMERS POWER BUILDING, SAGINAW, MICH.

H.L. ZIEGENBEIN 1898 - 1971

Next to the Bank of Saginaw was the Consumers Power building on Federal at Warren Streets. Along with its offices, the company featured display rooms for appliance demonstrations. A 1933 newspaper advertised the Miller Sunlite lamp, which could bring the same rich, sparkling ultra-violet rays of sunshine to the user. Consumers sold the lamp, which could bring health and pep to sun-bronzed bodies.

Ziegenbein was Division Manager of Consumers Power Company. He also served 4 terms as president of the Saginaw Club. His residence at 1104 N. Michigan Avenue is now part of the Saginaw Art Museum.
