When the gasoline engine replaced the horse and buggy on the streets and work horse in the fields, Blacksmith Fred Seeger of 305 Pauline Blvd. turned his efforts and skill to welding. Here he is shown concentrating on two steel plates which have been joined with molten iron, using his acetylene equipment. Seeger was employed by John Volz at his blacksmith and welding shop from 1925 to 1939 when he moved into his own store. Seeger was born in Wuerttemberg province, Germany.
