Blacksmith Wanted

From the Waupaca Spirit, May 8, 1856:

WANTED

A good blacksmith at Rural Village in southwest part of Waupaca County. Also a good shoemaker would find excellent chance in this place. This is decidedly the best opening for a few good Mechanics and Traders in Northern Wisconsin. A first-rate water power and flouring mill will soon be completed and in the centre of a large and excellent farming community with roads centreing from all quarters and a very desirable location for a Town. There is still a few lots for free distribution to actual settlers. For information, address J.H. Jones or L.A. Phelps, Rural, Waupaca Co., Wisconsin.

The Old Blacksmith Shop

We've opened another room at Weller's and we've also opened the old blacksmith's shed next door! We have new goodies for you every day! As we clean and organize the shed we also have some freebies to give away from time-to-time. Right now we have some pieces of iron that you can use in your garden or to reinforce concrete. First come....

Here are some of the goodies waiting for you at Weller's:








We just pulled out a few beautiful garden statues, an old pump organ in excellent working condition, desks, wicker and more! Pictures to come!
