Mattie Poole: Moline Business Woman
Learn about entrepreneur Mattie Poole who demonstrated progressive marketing skills and considerable business acumen well ahead of her time. The Poole building she built on Moline’s 5th Avenue still stands today, evidence of the achievements of a woman in what was then a man’s world.
Gretchen will also show some of her own Mattie Poole porcelain pieces.
