A Connection to the Past

August 28, 1978, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

My friend Steve Krueger recently made the following announcement in Facebook:

During the month of August there will be a historical display in the Elisha D. Smith Public Library showing the Menasha Wood Split Pulley Company. This will be a joint effort between Stan Sevenich and Steve Krueger to have artifacts from both private collections on display, which will include a variety of pulleys from the factory, advertisements, sale cards. invoices, and a cool history lesson on the company. 

In my own research, I found this interesting item, that the pulley company was sold to this Neenah firm which is still in business today.  Their business focus might have changed, but to think that there is a link to this past iconic firm still extent in the business world today is fascinating.
