HARPS
HARPS. Claus Hagge worked as an expert varnisher for many years at FARLEY AND LOETSCHER MANUFACTURING COMPANY. However, it was his hobby of making harps for sale and saving his wages that he was able to open a shop of his own at 852 Clay Street. Working day and night, his harps were sold in many parts of the country for "a good profit."
