Blaettnar Auto Co stemmed from wagon works in Pomeroy
The Blaettnar family business traces from a wagon and buggy shop on Main Street, burned in 1887, to an automobile firm on the same site. Michael Blaettnar arrived circa 1852, built wagons, endured floods and a major fire, and shifted to cars under John F Blaettnar in 1916. By 1924 the firm held Buick and Hudson agencies, with GMC trucks, expanding through 1946. The fourth generation remains, with a pictured family lineup identified across the home and shop.
