Way Back When


 The Thorp Courier  --   September 13, 2006
 



Here is a wonderful old photograph submitted by former Thorpite Gerald Glasshof, now of Marshfield. Gerald’s father-in-law, Emil Malnar, purchased this matched Blue Roan team from the Mattes Sale Barn. The sign on the float wagon reads, “For good horses, see Harold Mattes,”

The driver and passenger pictured are unknown, and no date has been provided. Do any of you have any stories to tell that are associated with this photo?
