Anybody remember the Herter's company in Wisconsin from 30-40 years ago? They were suppliers of all things outdoorsy. I know they are out of business now, but does anyone remember the history of the company and why they folded? I heard there were some sort of "irregularities", but don't know any details. Their catalogs were my nighttime reading material. I bought my first black walnut stock blank from them in the mid 60's along with a set of Millers Falls chisels. Paid all of about $6-7 for the wood. It was (is) a pretty nice piece and I still have it on my Fox SW. Couldn't afford their top grade wood: it was more than $10 and beyond my budget.
