Walsh
Founded in 1914 in Milwaukee, WI by James Walsh, the Walsh company grew to prominence by developing distinctive products like the innovative Walsh No-Buckle Harness. The introduction of the harness made field work much easier for farmers as well as those who used horses for other jobs. James scientifically tested his leather harness the same as steel mills tested for tensile strength in order to prove that a Walsh Harness would outlast the competitor so frequently. He continued to innovate and modify his designs to accommodate modern ideas as well as demonstrate the money saving investment on purchasing a harness that would need far less repair as it aged.
