For those who like to look at expressions on faces, this collection offers a wide range, from worn but satisfied to hopeful and expectant. There is a story (or more) in every image. One that particularly touched me was the photograph of an owner whose business partner had died at work just a week or so before the picture.
One fun thing I particularly enjoyed was looking closely at all of the "things" each business requires in order to offer their products or services. Many of them have tools and supplies that likely are almost as old as the business itself, which to be in this book means at least 50 years old. One business, a shoe store, has stock dating back to the 1960s. That is a fascinating picture to study.
I think this will appeal not only to Wisconsin natives but to anyone who appreciates good photography that tells a story. It is also a wonderful archive of how businesses have lasted for decades, sometimes thriving and at other times simply surviving.
