Sometimes you get lucky. Several of the old colorized post cards of Bluffton stated that they were printed by the Weixelbaum Brothers of Lima. You wonder where that business was once located.

Hi!
Just wanted to say that I was just in on your site and I think it's a great idea. My dad, Howard Shelly, told me about it, as I am visiting this week. Now I can keep up with Bluffton, while in Denmark.
