“You want to know anything about Browerville? Ask Larry. If you can’t catch up with him, then ask his brother, Dick.” Larry and Dick are the Kahlert brothers. On the original “Main Street” corner of Browerville, there have been Kahlerts doing business for well over 120 years.

Like most Browerville residents back in those days, he did a wide variety of things and Dick and Larry learned from him that “the only way to keep working was not to stop.”
