With future plans of selling the real estate, the workshops must be emptied of over 90 years of tools and auto parts. Don passed away 15 years ago and the shops are just as they were then. Don’s Dad, Miles started the auto repair business nearly 90 years ago and Don joined him back in the early 1950’s. They repaired autos and farm machinery, had a working blacksmith shop and were a Stihl chainsaw dealer. Many interesting items to be sold at this Tuesday afternoon Auction! All are welcome and encouraged to come early on auction day to inspect the items.
