LION ANTIQUE MALL
Milwaukee’s Country Lion owner, Bruce Gniot talks about his business. How long have you been in this business? 4 1/2 years How did you get started/inspired to open your business? Started out of necessity of losing my job and the love of collecting old things and going on picks with a friend of mine of 25 years. Has your business always been in the present location, or more? Yes. How many employees/family members work with you? One. What is the Primary focus of your business? Selling and buying antiques. What do you love most about your industry? The same as everybody, the hunt, learning the history of antiques and definately working with people. What are some of the common myths you come across in your business? That anything old is worth a lot of money What message would you like most to share with people? This is directed toward the younger generation. that antiques are of far more value in the long run and much more eye appealing and built the right way compared to the chain stores that are out there today. With a little thought, you can repurpose certain items and redesign your home with hard to find items. What would you like customers to most know about your business? We always strive to keep fresh product
Repurposed art by Bruce Gniot, known for creating gothic art.
A large selection of retro, 50s clothing, shoes and accessories.

PILGRIM ANTIQUE MALL
Country Lion Antique Mall moving and coming in for sale. If there is something that you don’t see, ask, we may have it hidden in one of the back rooms. What is the biggest compliment customers give you? That we should charge admission to come in here because it’s the best antique store in Milwaukee. What are you most grateful for? To do this business for a living, and having the best customer base. Who/what can you credit your success? Family, vendors, customers, and our unique eye to be different in the field of antiques. What are you most Proud of? Building my business and reputation. What are some of the biggest challenges? Finding good stuff on a constant basis, keeping prices as low as possible and getting people under 30 years old information to appreciate, love and enjoy antiques. Is there anything else you would like to share about The Country Lion ? In the long run, antiques are a much better value because of the way it’s built and the age has it’s own look to each and every piece, making it unique. These pieces have lasted a 100 years, and could last another 100 if properly taken care of and still hold a good resale value. ~ Country Lion Antique Mall ~ 414-316-9985 4330 S.

SHOPPING, The Great American Main Street Ripon‘s downtown is a three-time semifinalist of the Great American Mainstreet Award. Tremendous improvements accomplished over time enhance the Ripon downtown–helping make it an historically revitalized city that serves as the community’s central area of business, gatherings and entertainment. Dozens of businesses have established themselves in Ripon–a place that’s easy to be a business owner. No wonder Ripon’s downtown vacancy rate is only 7 percent. Through the years, many redevelopment
projects have boosted assessed property values from $7.3 million in 1998 to more than 18.7 million in 2012, amounting to more than $14 million in public and private investment. Ripon Main Street has lent a helping hand to projects including the Watson Streetscape renovation; implemented an aggressive business recruitment and retention campaign; and created innovative promotions such as the Ripon Summer Concert Series, Dickens of a Christmas, Septemberfest, and Watson Street Farmer’s Market.
Holiday WineWalk Friday, November 5, 2021 Due to the COVID crisis, the 2021 the Walk will not take place. For those that plan ahead, circle Friday, November 5th on your calendar, and visit the Downtown Ripon Facebook Page for details. During the event, which takes place from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, businesses will become “tasting rooms” where attendees may sample up to 40 different wines throughout the evening. Continued on page 48

These are some of the most luxurious Persian rugs on the planet. They are created in India combining rare, lustrous Suri alpaca fiber and ancient craftsmanship handed down for generations. The fiber is blended into 100+ natural colors and hand-spun by 50 to 100 master spinners at home in neighboring villages. Warping is done outside the loom using metal rods, and skilled weavers. A vertical loom is warped, and the weaving begins, knot by knot (block by block) choosing colors one by one, weaving 120 knots per square inch. It takes about six months to complete one rug. Lodi Alpacas will custom orders or expedite delivery of in-stock rugs from Akuna Matada Suris, the sole distributor of these masterpieces in the US. Lodi Alpacas also carries alpaca socks, sweaters, shawls, gloves, hats, yarn, & local artisan goods and gifts at 133 S Main Street, Lodi.
