My great-great-grandfather was Emil Frederick Robert Zoellner, and sold his business before moving to Prince Albert Saskatchewan with his sons, where they opened a new furniture business. Now I know what happened to the original business! We still have some of the furniture he made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-65796029089483098582017-11-08T09:45:05.823-05:002017-11-08T09:45:05.823-05:00I'd love that pic to add to the post!

I own a business in Boissevain Manitoba where this cabinet, and about a dozen like it, were used in the first business in my building, built in 1898. It housed suits and accessories, and although the outside had been painted and then stripped at some time in it's life, the inside is original. The Wier company label, which has a patent date of July 14th 1903, is still on the pullout that hung the suits. I can send you the pics of it if you are interested.<br /><br />Catherine<br />Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256042019740993382noreply@blogger.com
