PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND READ ABOUT
THIS AMISH BLACKSMITH

   A note about my craftsman. I could obtain these Weathervanes from other American suppliers (Manufactured in a factory in mass quantities.), at at a cheaper price. But I choose to support the Amish folks who are hard working, honest, and full of faith and forgiveness beyond our imagination.   Plus their products are original and the craftsmanship is far superior.

   This particular Blacksmith; has a small enterprise established,
employing four other young men learning the trade of “Blacksmith”.  He has, for the Amish, a large display of products. Gift shops and retailers local to him have to come to his shop to pick up product since the Amish do not drive. However his talent not being unnoticed has a lot of his product shipped out using UPS, he even exports. His hours are dawn to dusk because he does not use any electricity. But as a necessary evil he has a telephone because it is completely necessary to run his business. A sign on the wall reads closed for lunch 11:30 to 12:30 and closed on  Sunday. 

   It was very hard to find this Blacksmith as there were no signs, just the street address on a fence, thank God for my GPS. I turned into a lane hoping it was not someone home and I could see in the distance a UPS truck making a pickup. As I approached his shop, the surroundings appeared as  this was the only means of income (Most all of the Amish who practice a trade also Farm). When I entered the showroom, I was greeted immediately by a robust but very cheerful young man. The boy’s name as I recall was Eli who explained all the things I needed to know to buy from them. My wife who is my eye for new products began to pick out some new items. I told Eli I wanted to make a purchase now, he left
immediately returned to work and fetched his boss to meet me. I met the Owner and placed a small order, the owner himself went to his little attached warehouse pulled my order and placed in my car. He thanked me and returned quickly to join his fellow workers.

   I am writing this, to try to give you some sense of the integrity and work ethic of the Amish people. My experience with these remarkable people is truly an awakening for my business practices.

  THIS IS A STATEMENT ON THE
INSIDE COVER OF HIS CATALOGUE

   Thanks to the customers who helped with ideas to come up with the product selection we carry today. All iron items listed in this catalogue are handcrafted at our shop location. Because items are handcrafted, like humans, not one will be perfectly alike. A lot of effort is put into making jigs & fixtures to make items straight & alike to the eye. All forged items are all still done with propane forged ovens, hydraulic hammer, hand
hammers, anvil and plies.  We wish you great success in having our American handcrafted items in your store.

Note: The catalogue illustrations were hand drawn not photos and some of the type looked like it was from a mechanical type writer.
