[ARCHIVED] City Flag Lowered To Half-Staff In Memory Of Paper Merchant Owner


Watch Steve Burnham showcase The Paper Merchant during an episode of "Business Beat," which aired on Geneva Broadcast Network in November 2015.

The City flag at Geneva City Hall has been lowered to half-staff in memory of Steve Burnham, owner of The Paper Merchant, who died this week.

Mr. Burnham made countless contributions to our downtown community throughout the years. We also had the pleasure to interview him for our "Business Beat" TV show, which aired in November 2015 (see above).

Read the Geneva Chamber of Commerce's news release in the Kane County Chronicle.

Our condolences go out to the Burnham family.
