Duluth Trunk Factory
I recently came across this footlocker-style trunk and inside it had a sticker from the Duluth Trunk Factory. I’m wondering if anyone knows the history of this particular company.

I’m trying to locate some firebrick in town for an outdoor oven project I’m constructing. The best kind would be free, but I would be willing to pay a small amount for any straits that you may have laying around from that fireplace project or whatnot. I can certainly make good use outta used or slightly damaged bricks, granted they have at least one good side that I can put face up. I have made calls to several places around town, but would really just like to find a person around who has more than they need and wouldn’t mind me taking some (18) off of their hands. I’ll have you over for pizza when its constructed! Thanks in advance!
I am currently looking for a reasonably priced, or even better yet free, place to keep a sailboat this summer. The boat is a Phil Bolger designed Long Micro, coming in at just under 20 feet long. It draws only about 16 inches and would be easily tied to a small dock or the like. If I was able to find a party that would be interested in helping me out, I would gladly let them use the boat in trade for access. I am looking to be up the river somewhat if possible, just for protection and I am currently living on that side of town. If you or anyone you know has access to a unused dock and wouldn’t mind a beautiful boat lashed to it, please let me know! Thanks! Included are some photos of a Long Micro, very similar to the boat in question.
Oh my God!
My fiance and I are looking to be married in August and are currently searching for recycled (hopefully seeded) paper for our invites. I have hunted around on the net, and got a few numbers, but I felt it would be good if we went with someone local. Does anyone around the area make paper or know someone who does? We have less than two weeks to come up with something before we’d like to have them printed, so the sooner the better. I actually tried making some paper last night, it worked out well, but I just don’t have enough time to get them all done. Let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested!
FYI:
The 17th Annual Living Green Conference will be taking place this Saturday, February 7th, from noon until 4:30 PM. This is a great way to network with other like minded individuals or to become associated with local eco-minded businesses and services. Bring a donation for the food shelf and get $1 off admission ($10). The event will be held at Lake Superior College, which is a different venue than previous years, allowing for more exhibitors and classes. Come and bring a friend, you won’t regret it!
