C. Hirschmann - Hides, Pelts and Furs

The "stuffed" bear was a familiar sight in front of the store for many years.

C. Hirschmann

When the large stuffed bear was placed before the Hirschmann store on Main Street in West Point the school children at first were so afraid of that bear that they would not walk past the store, but would walk on the other side of the street. The men in the picture are from left to right: J. Haeffelin, A. Hirschmann, Adalf Korb.

Johann Conrad Hirschmann (1826-1898) and his wife, Maria Magdalena (Edelhauser) Hirschmann (1834-1921)
