My great grandfather heard that saddle makers were in short supply. So he moved his family west and opened a small shop. He was soon making harnesses, gun belts, holsters and chaps, as well as saddles. The customers kept coming back because his quality and workmanship was the best. |

Our clothing and toys are made of real leather which means greater strength. As our little cowboys and cowgirls play, the leather becomes soft and supple. It’s no surprise that once the child grows up, these outfits become keepsakes to be handed down to their own kids. Today we strive for the same quality and workmanship as we did in 1876. John J.
