This is his 1905 invention, the Automatic Combination Tool (aka Handyman and Hi-Lift Jacks). 4 and 5 generations later, the company is still owned by the same Harrah family, and still produced out of the same factory in Bloomfield, Indiana. 🇺🇸 NRA and NTA Life Member www.BackroadsRevised@etsy.com

Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.
