Beaver Dam Wisconsin F.E. Keefer Harness Shop Real Photo Postcard

F. E. Keefe's Harness Shop represents a vital local business during an era when horse-drawn transportation and agriculture were paramount. Operating likely in the late 19th or early 20th century, the shop would have supplied essential gear such as harnesses for workhorses, fly nets for comfort, and whips for guidance. The Robes and Notions advertised suggest a diversification into general dry goods, a common practice for small-town merchants serving a community's broader needs.
