Loper madness

Please check out the entire menu at the right to get in step with Fairfield history. These links have no advertising, no redirects and no tricks. 

 Several blog items from 2015 discuss the Loper carriage business, and there are several photos of the place. I will include those links and maybe add a few other things I learned about that business. Hoping this will satisfy your craving for horse, er ... feathers. (Huston Hotel was located at 4th and Central but an 1887 map does not show Loper being there.)





The 'VAC' at 317 might have been the Loper showroom.



Loper did not do well in his endeavors to expand into Connersville. The links I add here will explains some of why that was. This ad is from an 1882 Connersville newspaper. Those papers are available through your public library, probably. If you care about this sort of research, it's worth it. You pay library taxes. Use their genealogy services.
