Farmers would plow, and if anything broke, they either, my grandfather would send one of his workers out to fix the harness when it was on the horse. Or the farmers would bring the whole team to the back of the store and hed fix it right there. Thats how close the fields were.

"I have so many memories of Schatzlein's. I am bringing my son to shop at the store this fall for school clothes.
I always wanted a horse when I was young. A friend had a horse with some issues and I saved babysitting money to pay for an operation for the horse (Shadrack). Schatzlein's let me put a lovely Argentine, used, Forward Hunt Seat saddle, Snaffle Bridle, and black Malbourogh riding boots on layaway. I had years of pleasure riding Shadrack and living my dream of owning a horse thanks to their willingness to let me pay a bit at a time at age 14.

Memory
I went into Schatzlein's in the summer of 2003 to just look around. Immediately I spotted a glorious red cowboy shirt with gold musical notes sewn into the shoulders. I was tempted to buy it immediately, but put off doing so for almost a week, until I couldn't resist. Along with it I bought a large white ten-gallon hat and brown cowboy boots. Within six months I had taught myself how to twirl a pistol and yodel, and by the following Christmas I had developed a singing cowboy act that I debuted at the Blue Barn Theatre in Omaha, Neb. A lesson that just wandering into a business on Lake Street can transform your life.
