Sprague Meat Market in Wild Rose, WI


Claude A Sprague had a Meat Market at 457 Main Street.  Smoked hams and sausage were on the top row on the left.  The next row has chickens.  The lower row has animals and carcasses. The  scale and cash register are in the middle.  Lights are strung from the ceiling. He had the ability to smoke meat in his smoke house.  He bought the building in 1905  but was in Wild Rose much earlier.  He had a home on Wisconsin Ave. that was sold to T J Woodward in July of 1918.  Ed Heuer also had a meat market in this building.
