John Pritzlaff Hardware Company

John Pritzlaff Hardware Company, founded by John C. Pritzlaff in 1850 was the largest hardware company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and eventually became one of the largest wholesale hardware companies and iron supply houses in the Northwest. It was known for selling hardware, sewing machines, and toys through mail order catalogs to wholesale accounts throughout the United States.
