TENDING TO THE ANIMALS
C. E. Wheelock's Harness and Shoe Repairing and W.A. Northrup's Flour, Hay and Feed Shop at 524 North State Street in Big Rapids, offer additional examples of former businesses that existed to take care of the animals that provided the main means of transportation and a good share of the work on the early farms.
