I grew up close to the Herters store and loved taggin alog with Dad and my brothers every trip! It was a rainy day trip off the farm. I still use the number 3# press that my older brothers used and love it. I just moved it to our house on the other side of the farm, I dont think I will ever get another press. Anytime I look at a newer one they just seem small flimsy and cheap, I know there are other great presses but that just me. After the store moved to Mitchell SD we would stop when going out west hunting, but it just wasnt the same anymore.
