the Wesley W Jung 01:06.933 --> 01:09.700 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% Carriage Museum, which is in its new home. 01:09.800 --> 01:12.866 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% It moved in in July of 2013. 01:12.966 --> 01:18.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% I'll start a little bit further back, though, than that. 01:18.300 --> 01:22.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Jacob Jung, the founder of what eventually became the Jung 01:22.833 --> 01:27.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Carriage Company, immigrated to the United States with his 01:27.933 --> 01:34.633 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% sister, Margaretha, and his mother, Magadalena, in 1853. 01:34.733 --> 01:39.300 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% They departed Europe from originally Baden, Germany, 01:39.400 --> 01:43.866 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% but Havre, France, sailing on the ship New York 01:43.966 --> 01:46.533 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5% with 172 other people. 01:46.633 --> 01:48.033 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% And I don't know about you guys, 01:48.133 --> 01:51.666 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% I'm really not a big fan of long distance traveling. 01:51.766 --> 01:55.566 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% So the idea of a seven-week rough and stormy voyage across 01:55.666 --> 01:59.200 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% the Atlantic that they took really doesn't appeal to me. 01:59.300 --> 02:02.033 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% But they did indeed arrive safely 02:02.133 --> 02:05.333 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5% in New York in September of 1853, 02:05.433 --> 02:10.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% stayed around for about a month before moving to Columbus, Ohio. 02:10.533 --> 02:12.766 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% And I don't know if any of you guys 02:12.866 --> 02:15.333 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% have ever been to Columbus, Ohio. 02:15.433 --> 02:18.133 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% Not a real exciting place at times. 02:18.233 --> 02:21.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% And I think Jacob felt the same way because about a year later 02:21.600 --> 02:23.600 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% he moved to Sheboygan. 02:26.166 --> 02:29.833 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% Didn't waste a lot of time once he got here. 02:29.933 --> 02:32.066 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% Got himself a job working for a carriage company, 02:32.166 --> 02:33.800 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% which we'll talk about in a few moments, 02:33.900 --> 02:36.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% and, of course, found a girlfriend and got married. 02:36.366 --> 02:38.833 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% Although I really shouldn't say found a girlfriend. 02:38.933 --> 02:43.033 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% See, Jacob had gone to church 02:43.133 --> 02:46.466 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% with a young lady named Eleanora Wilke Nack, 02:46.566 --> 02:52.733 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% and on March 25, 1855, they had their first date. 02:54.866 --> 02:57.833 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% And about, the first thing Jacob did was propose. 02:57.933 --> 03:03.233 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% And he wanted to get married tomorrow. 03:03.333 --> 03:07.500 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% Well, Eleanora, being a little more sensible than Jacob, said no. 03:07.600 --> 03:10.966 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% I'll marry you but we have to wait until the day after 03:11.066 --> 03:13.333 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% tomorrow because I've got some baking to do. 03:13.433 --> 03:16.800 align:left position:37.5%,start line:5% size:52.5% [laughter] 03:16.900 --> 03:20.666 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% But they did marry two days after their first date. 03:20.766 --> 03:24.000 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% Eventually they would have six children. 03:24.100 --> 03:28.633 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% Eleanor, or Clara; Jacob Jr; Wilhelm, Willie; 03:28.733 --> 03:33.300 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% Heinrich, Henry; Otto; and Alfred. 03:33.400 --> 03:35.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% Lots of nice good German names. 03:35.966 --> 03:39.866 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% And this is really not surprising 03:39.966 --> 03:42.633 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% because not only did Jung come to us from Germany 03:42.733 --> 03:44.800 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5% but he came to Sheboygan for a reason. 03:44.900 --> 03:48.733 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% And that reason was it was an area that had seen a lot of 03:48.833 --> 03:53.966 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% German immigration and had a lot of skilled woodworkers 03:54.066 --> 03:59.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% already there and available to do what he wanted to do, 03:59.600 --> 04:01.833 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% which was build carriages. 04:01.933 --> 04:04.500 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% He came here with an idea, 04:04.600 --> 04:09.033 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% and that idea was to start a carriage company. 04:09.133 --> 04:11.033 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Originally he worked for an existing company, 04:11.133 --> 04:13.933 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% Brothers and Jones, located at the corner of 04:14.033 --> 04:16.166 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% Pennsylvania Avenue and 9th Street. 04:16.266 --> 04:18.933 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% By the way, this is not Brothers and Jones, but it is located 04:19.033 --> 04:21.700 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% at the corner of Pennsylvania and 9th Street. 04:22.733 --> 04:25.133 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% Brothers and Jones, unfortunately, 04:25.233 --> 04:28.600 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% was not the best company to work for. 04:28.700 --> 04:31.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% They couldn't really pay these guys, and about a year later, 04:31.966 --> 04:36.333 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% after working for them, Jacob and a partner, 04:36.433 --> 04:39.833 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% coworker of his by the name of Lawrence Artmann 04:39.933 --> 04:42.400 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% were able to take over the business. 04:42.500 --> 04:45.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% Now, we don't know what kind of discount they got for money 04:45.166 --> 04:48.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% owed, but we do know that they very quickly changed the name 04:49.000 --> 04:52.133 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% to Jacob Jung and worked together 04:52.233 --> 04:56.833 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% for 12 years until Artmann's death. 04:56.933 --> 04:59.500 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% Neat thing about the company was, well, 04:59.600 --> 05:01.600 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% they kind of had a unique setting. 05:01.700 --> 05:03.733 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% The corner there on 9th and Pennsylvania 05:03.833 --> 05:06.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% had a whole bunch of buildings on it and had a courtyard, 05:06.400 --> 05:08.266 align:left position:35%,start line:5% size:55% but only one building was theirs. 05:08.366 --> 05:10.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% So they built the carriages in the building, and they used the 05:10.766 --> 05:16.866 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% courtyard as a showroom and managed to get a good enough 05:16.966 --> 05:22.166 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% reputation that people came to them directly, 05:22.266 --> 05:27.166 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% not only for basic carriages but for very specific, 05:27.266 --> 05:29.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% personally-designed carriages. 05:29.466 --> 05:32.933 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% And the business went so well that about 20 years 05:33.033 --> 05:36.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% after he got it, Jacob was able to build his own building. 05:36.833 --> 05:39.133 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% We just saw it here. I actually should go back. 05:39.233 --> 05:45.100 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% It's a Richardsonian Romanesque building. 05:45.200 --> 05:50.100 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Wood frame, timber frame, brick and stone facade, 05:50.200 --> 05:51.733 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and it's just a lovely building. 05:51.833 --> 05:55.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:77% size:67.5% It still stands today, if you want to go to Sheboygan and see it. 05:55.366 --> 05:56.800 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% Although today we don't make carriages there. 05:56.900 --> 05:58.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% We have a beauty salon, a photographer, 05:58.366 --> 05:59.933 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65% a lawyer, and a bar. 06:01.000 --> 06:03.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% Inside it was an amazing place. 06:03.500 --> 06:08.100 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% It had a paint shop, a wood shop, and a blacksmith shop. 06:08.200 --> 06:12.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Employed 15 to 20 men, and what I love about this shop is that 06:12.800 --> 06:15.100 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% everybody's working in kind of tight proximity here. 06:15.200 --> 06:19.300 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% I can't find my cursor, but we have a fellow 06:19.400 --> 06:21.466 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% right there in the middle. 06:21.566 --> 06:25.066 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% He's putting mortises in hubs to build wheels. 06:25.166 --> 06:28.866 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% In front of him, you can see bundles of spokes. 06:28.966 --> 06:30.300 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% By this point they were buying spokes 06:30.400 --> 06:32.166 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% pre-made from somebody else. 06:32.266 --> 06:36.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% A fellow working on trim on the left, fellow sawing other trim 06:36.533 --> 06:39.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% on the right, and the young man standing in the middle, wearing 06:39.800 --> 06:43.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% a tie, looking very important, is a very young Wesley. 06:46.500 --> 06:50.066 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% This picture, by the way, this is the 1904. 06:50.166 --> 06:54.766 align:left position:25%,start line:77% size:65% Look at the factory, this picture was taken about 1912, 1913. 06:58.833 --> 07:02.166 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% As I mentioned earlier, Jung had five sons. 07:02.266 --> 07:04.700 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Every one of them worked for the carriage company. 07:04.800 --> 07:08.133 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Everybody in the family knew how to build vehicles, sleighs, 07:08.233 --> 07:12.700 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% wagons, carriages, and built beautiful pieces. 07:12.800 --> 07:17.700 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% But everybody also went their own way. 07:17.800 --> 07:23.400 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70% Wilhelm is going to work 07:23.500 --> 07:26.766 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% in the painting and decorating business. 07:26.866 --> 07:28.733 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% You notice in the picture, the building said paint 07:28.833 --> 07:30.233 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% and decorating at one end? 07:30.333 --> 07:32.466 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% He opened his shop in the building 07:32.566 --> 07:35.033 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% with the carriage factory. 07:35.133 --> 07:38.766 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% Jacob Jr, is going to take over the carriage business. 07:38.866 --> 07:42.066 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% And Wilhelm will work with him for a while. 07:42.166 --> 07:45.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Henry, he's going to work for a while for dad as a blacksmith, 07:45.900 --> 07:48.300 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% and then he will start a shoe company. 07:48.400 --> 07:50.400 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% By the way, if anybody's interested, this pair of Jung 07:50.500 --> 07:53.833 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% boots is available for sale somewhere on the Internet. 07:57.033 --> 08:00.433 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% Alfred went into the clothing and dry good business. 08:00.533 --> 08:02.000 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% He even offered 50 cent discounts 08:02.100 --> 08:04.100 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% with a five-dollar purchase if you had the coin. 08:05.833 --> 08:09.800 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% Otto didn't go into business for himself, but he constantly 08:09.900 --> 08:13.766 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% worked with his brothers in their various businesses. 08:13.866 --> 08:16.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% But the entire family did stay 08:16.366 --> 08:20.900 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% in Sheboygan for many, many years. 08:21.000 --> 08:24.600 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% Always tied to the carriage company, no matter what it was called, 08:24.700 --> 08:26.700 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% and the name did change over time. 08:28.566 --> 08:30.566 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% Originally, it was called Jacob Jung. 08:32.966 --> 08:36.133 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% In the late 19th century, it was renamed J&W Jung 08:36.233 --> 08:38.566 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% when Jacob Jr, and Willie took over. 08:38.666 --> 08:42.466 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% And in 1901 it became what we've come to know as the Jung 08:42.566 --> 08:46.966 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% Carriage Company and stayed in business until 1917 when, 08:47.066 --> 08:49.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% unfortunately, like many other carriage businesses in the 08:50.033 --> 08:56.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% state, those pesky automobiles reduced the demand, and instead 08:56.466 --> 08:58.766 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% of going into the bicycle or automobile business, 08:58.866 --> 09:00.766 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% the brothers merely separated 09:00.866 --> 09:05.200 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% and went into their other businesses. 09:05.300 --> 09:07.466 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% One of the neat things about the Jung factory 09:07.566 --> 09:11.533 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% is everything they did was a custom job. 09:11.633 --> 09:14.566 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% The paint was specific to the buyer. 09:14.666 --> 09:19.300 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% The design of the vehicle was specific to the buyer's needs, 09:19.400 --> 09:22.500 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% their business, and even their personal height 09:22.600 --> 09:26.433 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5% to fit comfortably. 09:26.533 --> 09:29.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% And they were not inexpensive. 09:29.633 --> 09:32.100 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% This little carriage you see here-- 09:32.200 --> 09:36.733 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% By the way, the $13.85 is just a little repair work. 09:36.833 --> 09:40.033 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% The carriage you see here would have cost about $115 09:40.133 --> 09:42.566 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% in the early 20th century, 09:42.666 --> 09:46.566 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% at a time when the equivalent vehicle in the catalogs 09:46.666 --> 09:50.133 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% of their competitors in other states cost $28. 09:50.233 --> 09:54.066 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% So this was the Cadillac of its time. 09:56.166 --> 10:00.566 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% However, they sold a lot of vehicles 10:00.666 --> 10:03.266 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% that were instrumental in the building of Sheboygan. 10:03.366 --> 10:06.566 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% You can see here a column for the bank being moved 10:06.666 --> 10:09.866 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% on a flatbed carriage made by the Jungs. 10:09.966 --> 10:12.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% For those of you who might have been to the Carriage Museum 10:12.800 --> 10:16.166 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% in the past, you might recognize those wheels. 10:16.266 --> 10:18.266 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% They're now under a circus wagon. 10:21.766 --> 10:24.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% The building that we looked at, by the way, did stay in the 10:24.933 --> 10:30.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% family until 1926 and became a historic landmark in 1974. 10:30.600 --> 10:32.633 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% But the reason we really remember the Jungs 10:32.733 --> 10:37.366 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% was because of Jacob's grandson, Wesley. 10:37.466 --> 10:41.800 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70% Wesley was born in 1899. 10:41.900 --> 10:44.266 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% He grew up with the carriage business around him. 10:44.366 --> 10:47.000 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% He worked in the blacksmith shop, the paint shop, 10:47.100 --> 10:49.833 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% and the wood shop for a while when he was a teenager 10:49.933 --> 10:52.833 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% before going off to join the army in World War I. 10:52.933 --> 10:57.266 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% When he got back, he went to school, spent some time here 10:57.366 --> 11:00.900 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% at the university in Madison, and became an accountant. 11:01.000 --> 11:02.300 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% But he never lost his love 11:02.400 --> 11:05.566 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% for the family business and for vehicles. 11:05.666 --> 11:08.300 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% And when he got a little bit older and had a little bit 11:08.400 --> 11:14.366 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% extra money, he started collecting these vehicles, 11:14.466 --> 11:17.733 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% restoring things that had been made by his family. 11:17.833 --> 11:21.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% He got so interested in it, he became one of the founding 11:22.033 --> 11:24.433 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% members of the Carriage Society of America. 11:24.533 --> 11:29.366 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% He was the treasurer, wrote articles for their journal, 11:29.466 --> 11:34.333 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% participated in carriage-driving competitions, and really 11:34.433 --> 11:38.566 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% surrounded himself with the vehicles his family had built. 11:38.666 --> 11:40.500 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70% And, of course, in 1968, 11:40.600 --> 11:43.566 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% he donated the collection to the Historical Society 11:43.666 --> 11:46.633 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% and founded the Wesley Jung Historical Museum. 11:46.733 --> 11:51.733 align:left position:22.5%,start line:77% size:67.5% This is a picture, from what I understand, of what Wesley did best, 11:51.833 --> 11:55.200 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% which was paint the striping on vehicles. 11:55.300 --> 11:57.433 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% And you'll see his work as we go through 11:57.533 --> 12:00.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the rest of our talk here today. 12:00.166 --> 12:03.733 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% So let's move on to some of the vehicles. 12:03.833 --> 12:06.533 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Like all of us who have a collection, there's that 12:06.633 --> 12:10.600 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% one thing you bought that maybe you shouldn't have. 12:10.700 --> 12:13.666 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% And the next thing you know, you've got a hundred full-size 12:13.766 --> 12:17.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% vehicles in the barn out back, you've spent hundreds 12:17.533 --> 12:19.366 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% of dollars or thousands of dollars fixing them, 12:19.466 --> 12:23.433 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% and your wife is wanting to know why you have all this stuff. 12:23.533 --> 12:26.233 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5% Well, this is the one. 12:29.800 --> 12:31.866 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% It's a heavy delivery wagon. 12:31.966 --> 12:35.233 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% We just refer to it as the Herzog meat wagon. 12:35.333 --> 12:39.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% It was owned by George and made specifically for George Herzog, 12:39.466 --> 12:41.000 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% who was a wholesaler meat dealer 12:41.100 --> 12:43.200 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5% a couple miles north of Sheboygan. 12:43.300 --> 12:45.866 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% The Jungs built it for him in 1904, 12:45.966 --> 12:48.266 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% and he used it for a good 10 years 12:48.366 --> 12:53.100 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% hauling whole sides of beef around town to the various markets. 12:53.200 --> 12:54.666 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% So I would imagine that this 12:54.766 --> 12:56.766 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% was pretty funny looking when it was full. 12:58.666 --> 13:04.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% The original cost of this guy? A whopping $135. 13:04.233 --> 13:07.466 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% And, of course, being the early 19th century, 13:07.566 --> 13:10.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% when we're done with something we have another use for it. 13:10.733 --> 13:13.466 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% When Mr. Herzog was done, he sold it to somebody who used it 13:13.566 --> 13:17.500 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% constantly for many years at the State Fair as a wagon 13:17.600 --> 13:20.566 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% his Belgians pulled during the horse competitions. 13:22.266 --> 13:25.233 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Wesley, of course, being Wesley, 13:25.333 --> 13:28.033 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% got a real deal on it when he bought it. 13:28.133 --> 13:30.000 align:left position:35%,start line:89% size:55% He paid $25. 13:30.100 --> 13:32.400 align:left position:37.5%,start line:89% size:52.5% [laughter] 13:32.500 --> 13:36.466 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% I have not included this information in our program 13:36.566 --> 13:39.300 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% today, but I did mention Wesley was an accountant. 13:39.400 --> 13:43.566 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% And one of the really funny things that he liked to do 13:43.666 --> 13:46.033 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5% was any time he exhibited his wagons, 13:46.133 --> 13:49.433 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% on the sign he told everybody what he had it insured for. 13:53.433 --> 13:55.166 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% This wagon is very elaborate. 13:55.266 --> 13:58.866 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% It has a fifth wheel allowing the front end to turn. 13:58.966 --> 14:01.666 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5% Very smooth action. 14:01.766 --> 14:05.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% It also does have a good set of breaks on it because we do have 14:05.733 --> 14:08.166 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% some hills around Sheboygan, and, fully-loaded, 14:08.266 --> 14:10.233 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% this thing is a very heavy piece. 14:10.333 --> 14:13.400 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% As I said, it's not only the first piece he bought, 14:13.500 --> 14:15.700 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% it's the first piece he restored. 14:15.800 --> 14:17.366 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% Imagine this, if you will, close your eyes 14:17.466 --> 14:19.800 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% and see the wagon in green. 14:22.200 --> 14:24.300 align:left position:32.5%,start line:89% size:57.5% Wes hated that. 14:24.400 --> 14:28.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% So he redid it in the original red, yellow, and black paint 14:28.166 --> 14:32.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% scheme, and the one thing that really caught his attention, 14:32.633 --> 14:38.500 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% and he had to get this right, was the steer head. 14:38.600 --> 14:44.666 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% And this is really important to Wesley. 14:44.766 --> 14:49.200 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% Because what happens when you go to the store to buy decals? 14:49.300 --> 14:50.566 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5% They're identical. 14:50.666 --> 14:53.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% So when you put one on both sides of the wagon, 14:53.366 --> 14:58.300 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% one steer is facing forward, the other steer is facing back. 14:58.400 --> 15:02.633 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% Wesley was not going to have a backwards-facing steer. 15:02.733 --> 15:06.966 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% He spent three or four years trying to find two decals 15:07.066 --> 15:09.966 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% with the same cow that would face forward. 15:10.066 --> 15:12.800 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% He wrote letters around the country, he called his daughter 15:12.900 --> 15:15.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% in New York and had her go out to all the stores that 15:15.766 --> 15:19.700 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% sold decals, and she finally found these under the counter 15:19.800 --> 15:22.300 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% in a hardware store covered with dust. 15:22.400 --> 15:26.066 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% They'd been made by a company in Bavaria called Pullman Fletcher, 15:26.166 --> 15:28.933 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% shipped to the United States, nobody wanted them apparently, 15:29.033 --> 15:32.433 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% and she got them and shipped them to us here in Wisconsin, 15:32.533 --> 15:36.100 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% where Wesley, so pleased with his decals, put them in a 15:36.200 --> 15:41.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% waterproof container and locked them in the safe for seven years 15:41.766 --> 15:43.600 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% to make sure that nothing happened to them 15:43.700 --> 15:46.533 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% until he got around to using them. 15:46.633 --> 15:49.733 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% So you can see by this, he put a lot of time, effort, 15:49.833 --> 15:53.066 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% and money into the restoration work he did. 15:53.166 --> 15:56.200 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% And one of the things that he was proudest of in his 15:56.300 --> 16:02.900 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% collection was a bobsleigh built by his grandfather about 1870. 16:03.000 --> 16:04.466 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% It's not really that fancy. 16:04.566 --> 16:07.466 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% It's a, you know, standard wood finish. 16:07.566 --> 16:13.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% It's got some what would today we would call pinstriping on it, 16:13.100 --> 16:16.233 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% but it's a very lightweight vehicle 16:16.333 --> 16:18.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% showing incredible workmanship. 16:18.866 --> 16:23.666 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% That dashboard that's bent into almost an S 16:23.766 --> 16:27.533 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% is one piece of wood that was steamed 16:27.633 --> 16:31.566 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% and meticulously bent into that shape. 16:31.666 --> 16:35.833 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% I mentioned a moment ago that this is a bobsled, and does 16:35.933 --> 16:38.900 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% anyone know the difference between a sleigh and a bobsled? 16:41.200 --> 16:42.866 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% Two sets of runners. 16:42.966 --> 16:45.300 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% Bobsleds have two sets of runners, 16:45.400 --> 16:48.200 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% and the front one can be turned. 16:48.300 --> 16:50.533 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% A sleigh has a singe set of runners 16:50.633 --> 16:53.500 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% that are in a fixed position. 16:53.600 --> 16:57.300 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% So this can go really fast and it takes curves 16:57.400 --> 16:59.400 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% much better than a standard sleigh. 17:02.733 --> 17:05.300 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% Some of the vehicles that Wes restored 17:05.400 --> 17:07.500 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% he did on a bit of a whim. 17:07.600 --> 17:09.633 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% And the canopy top surrey is probably 17:09.733 --> 17:14.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% his biggest ode to pop culture. 17:14.200 --> 17:18.400 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% This was again made by the family company in about 1890, 17:18.500 --> 17:20.933 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% and when Wes got it, he liked it 17:21.033 --> 17:23.333 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% because it was a very family piece. 17:23.433 --> 17:28.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% This is a surrey, and a surrey is a two- to three-seat vehicle 17:28.866 --> 17:31.966 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% with a roof protect you from the sun, and generally they tended 17:32.066 --> 17:35.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% to be very reasonably priced so that families could afford them. 17:35.500 --> 17:37.433 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% You could run them with one horse, 17:37.533 --> 17:39.500 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% so you didn't have to own two 17:39.600 --> 17:41.900 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% but you could use two if you wanted. 17:42.000 --> 17:47.000 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% And when Wesley got this one, he restored it around the 1950s 17:47.100 --> 17:50.633 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% because he was very excited to restore this 17:50.733 --> 17:53.700 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% to this particular color combination. 17:56.100 --> 17:58.100 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% Notice the fringe on the top. 18:00.200 --> 18:02.800 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% The color scheme matches the lyrics 18:02.900 --> 18:05.866 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% to the song from "Oklahoma." 18:05.966 --> 18:09.066 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% And I mentioned Wesley, you know, sometimes did some things 18:09.166 --> 18:11.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% because he liked to, you know, 18:11.733 --> 18:14.733 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% show people what he'd done and what he could do. 18:14.833 --> 18:17.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% He not only would show you this and tell you all about the color 18:17.766 --> 18:21.666 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% scheme, but one of Wes' favorite things to do was to show people 18:21.766 --> 18:25.033 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% the album cover from the soundtrack to "Oklahoma" 18:25.133 --> 18:26.666 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% and point out the surrey on the cover 18:26.766 --> 18:30.133 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% did not match the paint scheme to the lyrics. 18:32.266 --> 18:36.366 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% So, he also loaned this one to the local community theater 18:36.466 --> 18:38.666 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% for their production of "Oklahoma." 18:38.766 --> 18:43.000 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% But its true fame comes from a different direction. 18:43.100 --> 18:52.133 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% In 1957, this restored surrey took a trip to Spring Green and 18:52.233 --> 18:57.966 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% was used as the presentation vehicle for the Spring Green 18:58.066 --> 19:01.333 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% centennial parade's grand marshal. 19:01.433 --> 19:04.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% And I don't know if any of you can recognize the gentleman 19:04.166 --> 19:06.866 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% in the back seat, but that is Mr. Wright. 19:07.966 --> 19:09.666 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5% Wright new Wesley Jung. 19:09.766 --> 19:13.300 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% He had eventually sent some pieces to him for restoration 19:13.400 --> 19:17.433 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% work and asked if he could borrow this particular piece. 19:17.533 --> 19:20.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% To give you an idea of how much effort we're talking for the 19:20.200 --> 19:24.233 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% time, to send a driver from Spring Green to Sheboygan, 19:24.333 --> 19:27.266 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% to Spring Green to Sheboygan and back, 19:27.366 --> 19:32.833 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65% 660 miles of driving 19:32.933 --> 19:36.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% to pick this up and use it for a short parade. 19:36.366 --> 19:38.266 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% But we all know that Mr. Wright did what 19:38.366 --> 19:41.466 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Mr. Wright wanted to do, and he wanted this wagon. 19:42.566 --> 19:46.366 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% The piece that we have in our collection today 19:46.466 --> 19:48.800 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% that was actually owned by Mr. Wright 19:48.900 --> 19:51.800 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% was this roof-seat omnibus. 19:51.900 --> 19:55.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:77% size:77.5% I don't know if you can see it, but there's a seat up there on the roof. 19:55.166 --> 19:59.800 align:left position:15%,start line:77% size:75% It's got seating inside, it's got seating on the front of the cabin, and then, of course, 19:59.900 --> 20:03.233 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% the driver who sits right behind the brake line there. 20:03.333 --> 20:07.433 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% And this is just an amazing piece. 20:07.533 --> 20:11.000 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% Omnibuses were used when you picked up your guests 20:11.100 --> 20:15.233 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% at the train station and drove them to your resort 20:15.333 --> 20:17.000 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% or drove them to your hotel. 20:17.100 --> 20:19.300 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% It really wasn't something that many people 20:19.400 --> 20:23.333 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% had their own private one of, but Mr. Wright did and he used 20:23.433 --> 20:27.833 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% this particular piece to pick up new apprentices 20:27.933 --> 20:31.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% at the train station in Spring Green and take them to Taliesin. 20:33.933 --> 20:37.200 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% You can see the inside very nice upholstered. 20:37.300 --> 20:41.366 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% There are some kind of scary stories of Mr. Wright's driving 20:41.466 --> 20:43.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% that I probably should mention. 20:43.300 --> 20:47.966 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% I believe the phrase that was used by one of his apprentices 20:48.066 --> 20:51.733 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% was you would see him racing into town toward the train 20:51.833 --> 20:58.066 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% station, standing in the carriage, coattails flying 20:58.166 --> 21:03.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% behind him, reins in hand, whip in the other, no ticket in his 21:03.833 --> 21:07.700 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% pocket, but he made it on the train before it left. 21:07.800 --> 21:09.800 align:left position:37.5%,start line:5% size:52.5% [laughter] 21:11.066 --> 21:14.333 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% And I would imagine that seeing him standing on top 21:14.433 --> 21:16.666 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% of this would have been really funny. 21:16.766 --> 21:18.133 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% It's not a short vehicle. 21:18.233 --> 21:22.166 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% That driver seat is a good seven feet off the ground. 21:22.266 --> 21:24.700 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% This is one that was probably very, 21:24.800 --> 21:28.066 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% one of the very first ones ever displayed by Mr. Jung. 21:28.166 --> 21:30.966 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% It went on exhibit in Sheboygan in 1958 21:31.066 --> 21:34.233 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% under partial restoration, 21:34.333 --> 21:37.766 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% and he didn't finish it until 1968. 21:37.866 --> 21:42.600 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% But at the same time that he was showing this off, his inventory 21:42.700 --> 21:46.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% records showed that he had nine vehicles in his possession 21:46.300 --> 21:48.600 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% that had belonged to Mr. Wright. 21:48.700 --> 21:52.033 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% And what we have since found out is that the Wright estate 21:52.133 --> 21:56.933 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% sent all these vehicles to Wesley for restoration work. 21:57.033 --> 22:01.966 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% And he sent eight of them back, unrestored 22:02.066 --> 22:04.400 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% or partially restored, and he kept this one. 22:04.500 --> 22:06.966 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% And this may sound like a familiar story 22:07.066 --> 22:08.933 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% to those of you familiar with Mr. Wright. 22:09.033 --> 22:14.900 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% But apparently Mr. Wright was known for not paying his bills. 22:15.000 --> 22:18.133 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% So what we can assume is that Wesley kept this one in payment 22:18.233 --> 22:21.166 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% for the work he had done on it and for the partial work 22:21.266 --> 22:24.433 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% he had done on a governess cart. 22:24.533 --> 22:26.633 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% So today this one is in excellent shape. 22:26.733 --> 22:31.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% Three or four of the ones that he did have in his possession 22:31.466 --> 22:34.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% at one point have been returned to Taliesin 22:34.366 --> 22:37.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% and they are still there today, although not on exhibit. 22:38.866 --> 22:40.633 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% Flipping gears a little bit, 22:40.733 --> 22:43.700 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% let's go very high tech from the very simple. 22:45.366 --> 22:48.533 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% Wesley also loved fire equipment. 22:48.633 --> 22:51.733 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% And he managed to get this one to restore it. 22:51.833 --> 22:53.666 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% And this was a total mess. 22:53.766 --> 22:58.700 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% Somebody had pumped the equipment full of mud 22:58.800 --> 23:00.200 align:left position:32.5%,start line:89% size:57.5% and let it sit. 23:00.300 --> 23:05.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% It took four months of soaking in oil to get all the parts out. 23:06.066 --> 23:07.733 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% But this is a Silsby Pumper. 23:07.833 --> 23:09.700 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60% It's number 863, 23:09.800 --> 23:12.566 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% for those you keeping track of where they all are. 23:12.666 --> 23:15.566 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% It was built in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1886 23:15.666 --> 23:20.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% and served its fire company in Berlin, Wisconsin, very well. 23:20.733 --> 23:25.066 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% They used this device until 1929. 23:25.166 --> 23:28.333 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% And what's really neat about it 23:28.433 --> 23:33.533 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% is that this guy has a rotary twin steam engine in it. 23:33.633 --> 23:37.400 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% He can get that thing going. 23:37.500 --> 23:41.433 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% By the way, it's restored to full functionality. 23:41.533 --> 23:44.733 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% It is so finely machined that you can blow on the blades in 23:44.833 --> 23:46.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% the turbine and they will spin. 23:47.833 --> 23:51.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% But seeing it go down the road had to be really cool because 23:51.866 --> 23:54.733 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% the guy in the back is there, he's standing in the coal box, 23:54.833 --> 23:58.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% and he's shoveling coal in this thing as it goes down the road. 23:58.300 --> 24:01.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% It takes seven minutes from the time you get the fire going 24:01.200 --> 24:03.100 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% until you can start pumping the water. 24:03.200 --> 24:05.400 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% And this guy with the water source will pump 24:05.500 --> 24:09.833 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% 500 to 600 gallons a minute over 200 feet. 24:12.733 --> 24:16.000 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% Just an amazing piece of equipment. 24:16.100 --> 24:19.766 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% It also was highly decorated. 24:19.866 --> 24:22.333 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% But, unfortunately, for a while firefighters 24:22.433 --> 24:24.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% didn't really like these guys. 24:24.633 --> 24:28.233 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% You know how we all feel when we get new technology, 24:28.333 --> 24:30.566 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% what's the first thing everybody says? 24:30.666 --> 24:32.633 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% I'm going to lose my job. 24:32.733 --> 24:35.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% And it was the same thing here. 24:35.366 --> 24:37.100 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% But eventually it caught on. 24:37.200 --> 24:40.033 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% Like I said, they used it for over 40 years, 24:40.133 --> 24:42.000 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% so they eventually must have liked it. 24:42.100 --> 24:47.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% The other end of the spectrum, though, is the hook and ladder, 24:48.066 --> 24:49.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% which was not pulled by horses. 24:49.933 --> 24:52.566 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% This device was designed for fire departments 24:52.666 --> 24:56.066 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% that were too poor to buy a horse. 24:56.166 --> 24:58.166 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% And it was pulled by firemen. 24:59.566 --> 25:01.933 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Everybody grabbed a hold and took off running. 25:04.566 --> 25:09.866 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% However, when the Jungs built this, they did stop and think 25:09.966 --> 25:13.133 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% and they put brakes on it to make sure that it did not run 25:13.233 --> 25:16.966 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% over the firemen when going downhill. 25:17.066 --> 25:19.800 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% By the way, this one is from the Plymouth Fire Department. 25:19.900 --> 25:28.166 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Plymouth is a town about 15 miles west of Sheboygan. 25:28.266 --> 25:33.266 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% One of the really challenges of restoring this, 25:33.366 --> 25:37.000 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% Wesley did all the line work on there that you see. 25:37.100 --> 25:38.900 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% He was able to build new ladders 25:39.000 --> 25:40.333 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% because this thing was a total wreck. 25:40.433 --> 25:42.000 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70% There was no parts left. 25:42.100 --> 25:45.133 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% And he bought fire extinguishers, 25:45.233 --> 25:47.400 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% and he went out and bought axes to go in it. 25:47.500 --> 25:49.633 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% You can see where the fire extinguishers. 25:49.733 --> 25:55.333 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% You can see the ax there sitting behind the rail. 25:55.433 --> 25:58.366 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% But nobody made axes the right size anymore. 25:58.466 --> 26:00.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% So he took these new axes, went down to the fire department 26:00.966 --> 26:02.433 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% and made a deal with them. 26:02.533 --> 26:05.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% If they would give him old axes that would fit his wagon, 26:05.366 --> 26:09.033 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% he would buy them these nice, new ones, which are in 26:09.133 --> 26:12.333 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% so much better shape than anything you guys own. 26:12.433 --> 26:15.166 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% So the fire department traded him the axes. 26:15.266 --> 26:17.333 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% Everybody got what they needed from the deal, 26:17.433 --> 26:20.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% and Wesley was able to continue the restoration of this vehicle. 26:20.266 --> 26:22.766 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% The fellow in the picture here 26:22.866 --> 26:25.700 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% is there for kind of an odd reason. 26:25.800 --> 26:29.033 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5% His name is Frederick. 26:29.133 --> 26:35.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% He also credited with building this particular hook and ladder. 26:35.600 --> 26:39.100 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% So, some records say it was built by the Jungs, 26:39.200 --> 26:41.600 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% others say it was built by this gentleman. 26:41.700 --> 26:44.600 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% And it is possible that he worked for the Jungs, 26:44.700 --> 26:47.033 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% but this is one of the mysteries we try to solve is 26:47.133 --> 26:51.433 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% where things come from and who actually did the work. 26:51.533 --> 26:53.933 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% He did build the second hook and ladder 26:54.033 --> 26:56.033 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% that the fire department ended up owning. 26:57.900 --> 27:01.700 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% And here's a picture of the guys who had to pull it. 27:01.800 --> 27:04.066 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% Our fire department, by the way, 27:04.166 --> 27:08.100 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% ran out all the English-speaking members, took all their notes 27:08.200 --> 27:10.066 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% and held all their meetings in German. 27:13.933 --> 27:17.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Of course, we can't discuss the 19th and early 20th century 27:17.933 --> 27:20.233 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65% without a milk wagon. 27:20.333 --> 27:22.866 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% And Wesley restored this one. 27:22.966 --> 27:25.166 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65% It was built in 1905. 27:25.266 --> 27:27.400 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% Unfortunately we don't know by who. 27:27.500 --> 27:30.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% And this is actually framed out just like a building would be, 27:30.666 --> 27:32.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% and then the sides are covered. 27:32.766 --> 27:35.133 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% It is a completely enclosed vehicle 27:35.233 --> 27:38.033 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% to help protect the products. 27:38.133 --> 27:42.766 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% Keep the heat off them in the summer, 27:42.866 --> 27:44.800 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% help keep them from freezing in the winter. 27:44.900 --> 27:46.400 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% It's even got a front window. 27:46.500 --> 27:48.633 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% The reins actually go through a hole under the window 27:48.733 --> 27:50.666 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% so the driver can see them inside. 27:50.766 --> 27:56.433 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% But one of the really cool things about this wagon and this 27:56.533 --> 28:01.733 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% type of wagon is today we are coming upon what we're calling 28:01.833 --> 28:03.966 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80% the first self-driving vehicles. 28:04.066 --> 28:05.566 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75% Well, these were self-driven. 28:05.666 --> 28:10.000 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% The horses new their route so well that when the milkman got 28:10.100 --> 28:14.300 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% out to deliver the products, butter, milk, grade A milk, 28:14.400 --> 28:17.033 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% you know, all those things that came to your home, 28:17.133 --> 28:19.300 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% the horse would keep going to the next stop. 28:19.400 --> 28:21.433 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% And the driver would just walk along behind him, 28:21.533 --> 28:24.466 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% get what he needed, and finally, and the end of the block, 28:24.566 --> 28:26.066 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60% he'd get back in and actually drive. 28:26.166 --> 28:29.100 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% But the horse was the brains of the operation. 28:33.900 --> 28:37.166 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% Of course, these were a common sight 28:37.266 --> 28:39.566 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% in most towns in the early 20th century. 28:39.666 --> 28:42.600 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% The Gridley Dairy of Milwaukee eventually 28:42.700 --> 28:44.133 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% became part of Borden. 28:44.233 --> 28:46.566 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This particular vehicle actually was used to deliver milk 28:46.666 --> 28:50.800 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% in Wauwatosa until 1937. 28:50.900 --> 28:53.766 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% So it had a long life. 28:56.266 --> 28:58.200 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% Sleighs could also be used for delivery. 28:58.300 --> 29:01.266 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% We know what winters are like around here. 29:01.366 --> 29:03.766 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% Another version of Herzog. 29:03.866 --> 29:07.833 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% This one was built again by the Jungs around 1900. 29:07.933 --> 29:11.166 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% This one delivered whole bodies and whole carcasses, 29:11.266 --> 29:12.700 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5% just like the last one, 29:12.800 --> 29:15.333 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% only instead of to the stores this one 29:15.433 --> 29:21.933 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% went from the slaughterhouse to Herzog's wholesale center. 29:22.033 --> 29:24.966 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% Winter did not stop the business though. 29:25.066 --> 29:29.133 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% We just took off the wheel, put on runners. 29:29.233 --> 29:33.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Here's a picture of another one of his sleighs in the summer 29:33.100 --> 29:35.033 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5% with the wheels on it. 29:35.133 --> 29:39.133 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% And you can see it's full of sides of beef. 29:39.233 --> 29:43.800 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% Now, you may notice that this particular vehicle 29:43.900 --> 29:47.333 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% was the same color as the other Herzog one we looked at. 29:47.433 --> 29:51.100 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% That wasn't a Herzog thing. 29:51.200 --> 29:54.866 align:left position:25%,start line:77% size:65% There were some very popular color combinations of the time period. 29:54.966 --> 29:58.133 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% Yellow with black and red was very common. 29:58.233 --> 30:04.133 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% Green with yellow, red with black, or red with yellow are 30:04.233 --> 30:06.766 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% all represented in most vehicle collections. 30:06.866 --> 30:08.933 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% Of course, you'll also find wood color, 30:09.033 --> 30:11.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% you'll find black with yellow, 30:11.366 --> 30:13.733 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% but the one thing that I have not run across 30:13.833 --> 30:18.000 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% on a consistent basis at all is a blue vehicle, 30:18.100 --> 30:21.566 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% and my guess is it has to do with 30:21.666 --> 30:24.233 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5% the cost of the blue pigment. 30:27.333 --> 30:30.066 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% Keeping with our yellow and black theme, 30:30.166 --> 30:32.466 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% this is my favorite piece in the collection. 30:32.566 --> 30:37.133 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% For those of you who are into old cars: Studebaker. 30:37.233 --> 30:41.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80% This one was made in South Bend, Indiana, about 1900. 30:41.266 --> 30:44.433 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% The same people that ended up making the cars. 30:44.533 --> 30:50.300 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% And this was used to keep the oil and the dirt down on roads. 30:50.400 --> 30:52.500 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% Usually it was a community-owned vehicle. 30:52.600 --> 30:56.166 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% This particular one was privately-owned. 30:56.266 --> 30:57.766 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% Look at the spraying gear. 30:57.866 --> 31:00.600 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% This particular one took two operators: a driver 31:00.700 --> 31:02.666 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60% and an oiler who sat in the back. 31:02.766 --> 31:05.066 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% He has multiple levelers and dials there 31:05.166 --> 31:10.333 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% to control the flow of his water or his oil. 31:10.433 --> 31:14.666 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% Here's kind of a good look at one spraying. 31:14.766 --> 31:22.933 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% What you can't see on here is the big fancy A on the front. 31:23.033 --> 31:26.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% This was owned by Louis Armour. 31:26.433 --> 31:31.400 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% He used-- Danforth Lodge was his estate in Oconomowoc. 31:31.500 --> 31:37.500 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% So he used this to treat the roads at his private compound. 31:38.533 --> 31:40.933 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% I have two different stories to tell you 31:41.033 --> 31:43.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5% about where this came from now. 31:43.600 --> 31:47.500 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% The official statement is it was donated to Mr. Jung 31:47.600 --> 31:49.266 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% by a group of Sheboygan businessmen. 31:49.366 --> 31:51.533 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% The more interesting story came from a visitor 31:51.633 --> 31:54.233 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% who came through my museum about two years ago. 31:54.333 --> 31:57.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% He stopped me as I was walking through and said, "You know, 31:57.700 --> 32:02.200 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% "that was in my dad's garage, and it was covered with oil. 32:02.300 --> 32:03.866 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% "You couldn't see the color. 32:03.966 --> 32:06.266 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65% "You couldn't see the logo or anything. 32:06.366 --> 32:08.066 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% "We knew where it came from, 32:08.166 --> 32:12.900 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5% "but nobody wanted to think remotely about going through 32:13.000 --> 32:16.200 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% "all the effort of scrubbing oil off something that big 32:16.300 --> 32:18.966 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% "because you know how oil doesn't come off anything." 32:19.066 --> 32:21.566 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% So they called Mr. Jung and said if you want it 32:21.666 --> 32:24.833

By the way, this is the police one. 38:03.433 --> 38:06.200 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% And that is decorated to look just like the one used by 38:06.300 --> 38:09.266 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% the 1st Ward police in Sheboygan. 38:09.366 --> 38:11.466 align:left position:37.5%,start line:83% size:52.5% It's blue.

align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65% and sending the kids out for a ride. 38:45.766 --> 38:48.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Now, of course, if we're going to go to the very small, 38:48.800 --> 38:52.166 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% we should also look at the incredibly elegant. 38:52.266 --> 38:58.200 align:left position:12.5%,start

39:05.966 --> 39:09.900 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5% And one of the great things about these is you could put 39:10.000 --> 39:12.566 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% everybody you know on it, go to a sporting event, 39:12.666 --> 39:15.366 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% and use it as a mobile grandstand. 39:15.466 --> 39:17.433 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% And, of course, there are records of people complaining 39:17.533 --> 39:19.033 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5% about these things parking in front of them 39:19.133 --> 39:21.900 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5% and then they couldn't see. 39:22.000 --> 39:25.733 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70% It carried 16 passengers inside and on top. 39:25.833 --> 39:28.133 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5% You can see the fellow at the back. 39:28.233 --> 39:30.466 align:left

for your wine glasses. 39:56.300 --> 40:00.266 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75% A little demonstration of how to pack on up there at the top. 40:00.366 --> 40:01.866 align:left

cleaning on it, 40:05.266 --> 40:07.133 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% and decided to open the door in the back 40:07.233 --> 40:10.400 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% and all this really cool stuff was there. 40:10.500 --> 40:13.366 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5% Also, I should mention that we don't want to leave the horses out. 40:13.466 --> 40:15.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5% There's another compartment at the front under the driver seat 40:16.033 --> 40:18.033 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% to put hay and oats for the horses. 40:20.300 --> 40:22.900 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75% This is a monstrous vehicle. 40:23.000 --> 40:26.266 align:left

40:29.300 --> 40:35.866 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5% It's what's called a four-in-hand. 40:38.300 --> 40:41.766 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% This particular one has a little bit of a history to it. 40:43.866 --> 40:47.766 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70% I would assume that those coolers saw a lot of beer in 40:47.866 --> 40:51.833 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80% their day because this was owned by Captain Pabst and his family. 40:55.000 --> 40:59.800 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5% Well, the age of wagons came to a close. 40:59.900 --> 41:04.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5% Horse-drawn vehicles lost their appeal when the automobile came, 41:04.800 --> 41:06.133 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70% and it didn't take long. 41:06.233 --> 41:08.800 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70% Here in 1911, Sheboygan-- 41:08.900 --> 41:11.633 align:left
