The Waunakee series moves between a tractor being repaired, lawn mowers and members of the Statz family. Older machinery displays sit alongside the equipment and people the photographer encountered during the visit.
The appeal of the collection is in those everyday details. Presented as a 2018 archive, the photographs show an earlier period of the business and do not represent a current inventory or a new equipment offer.
The original photographic record
The source gallery contains 13 photographs credited to John Oncken. This selection retains the November 28, 2018 source date and photographer credit. Any historical prices or equipment shown belong to that record.
