Buying Plows & Picking Up Plow Handles

The Olde Plow Shoppe likes to pick up unique, unusual plows to display & sell--some are even for left-handers. These were purchased from an Amish Farm.
Dennis recently got back from a trip to Arkansas where he picks up plow handles to sell. He can only find them in Arkansas. Customers buy them to fix up old plows or cultivators where handles have rotted.

Dennis's Man Cave

Everything was totally taken out and the room cleaned and then items were chosen to display including many tools, antique tool boxes, old wooden doors, large iron kettle, milk cans, nail kegs,large barrel, old irons, etc.

Thiel Memory Drawing of Shop & Church, Emmanuel Lutheran Cemetery Today

Greg Thiel drew the above picture of the Olde Plow Shoppe building and adjacent church on a napkin while sitting at the Golden Basket Restaurant in Appleton.  He is very knowledgeable about churches and the history of them and drew this from memory when someone asked him about the church in Landstad.

The church is no longer here, but this is the cemetery today.

Milk and Egg Delivery

Under the lean-to: the farmer would drive the horse pulling the wagon to the store and pull up under the lean-to and the milk cans would be hoisted up on the loading dock and taken into the cheese factory.  They may have also delivered eggs and this could be used in exchange for groceries at the store.
