Really Neat Book - The Fisher Stove Story

He stayed married to Carol Ann. Lives up the road from his son Robert J. (Jesse when you live under a roof with two Roberts). I'll PM you some confidential stuff.

Anyone can Google Map; 1822 42nd st. Springfield, Or. and go to "street view" to see the original shop. The right side of it with the loading dock roof still stands. The left side has been added on to.

Fisher-Century can be seen at Google Map; 765 Conger st. Eugene , Or. and go to street view.
RSD is the building on the left at 701. Quick Designs is the building on the right at 775.

Trying to resize the original patent (it's easier to cut and reweld a stove to a different size for me)

Maybe more info for the Fisher Wiki page if so desired.

OK, it's too small to read; But when you click on the attachment, you can zoom in to blow it up by sections........ ( throws chipping hammer here )

You asked who the author was;
Claudia Lynn was the wife of the Vice President of fisher Stoves. This was at the time of the licensee convention, in 1977 mentioned at the end of the book. Bob was a company director at that time, and Henry Eaton had become President. (As stated in the book, pg. 121 where he realized he needed to let others run his business, unify licensees and defeat the imitators)

Here's a link to the news article about the licensee conference that the book ended with;
Manufacturers of Fisher Stoves to convene in Eugene Thursday (June 22 1977)

Notice this article also gives details of the convention, and states there were 38 manufacturing affiliates. Also John Lynn is mentioned as Vice President. A people search of John Lynn, Eugene Oregon brings up a 74 year old John Montgomery Lynn, with wife by the name of Claudia Margaret Lynn. BINGO ;-)
