Macdonald Implement Corp. Flat Iron Building - Dale. This building has played an important
part in Dale's
business history since the late 1800's when it was built by John Leppla. Its flatiron shape was a
result of railroad
property which ran along the west side. Along with an implement company it housed a doctor's
office, potato
warehouse in the basement and post office.
     Sam Wason ran the company from 1908 to 1914, when Tony Fritch took over the implement
business. For
a short period it was managed by John Leppla, a relative of the original owner, for the
Outagamie Co-op.
     In 1924 Albert Kaufman bought the business and ran it until 1945 when Claude Small began
operation.
     In 1952 was the beginning of MacDonald Implement Corp. The business was purchased by
Dave Tennie
July 1, 1975. That fall he remodeled the front.
