Wooden Ware Back View

 

A little seen view of the back of the Menasha Wooden Ware facility, looking north across the river.   This view emphasizes the reliance on railroad transportation.  Though the photo resolution makes it a challenge, one can still distinguish the oversized Menasha Wooden Ware box car to the left as opposed to the regular size Soo Line boxcars to the right. 

The tower rising in the top center of the photo is the old fire house on Main Street, which dates this photo to be 1885 or later.  In later years, this tower was removed.
