On the right, Earl "Fix-It Man" Rempp adjusts a drill press. A century-old musket and powder horn, two of many antiques he has accumulated, lean against the machine. On the left, Mrs. Rempp holds a lamp made by her husband out of native walnut. Also shown are lamps he made from an old jug and pottery and a sickbed tray. ~source: From the collection of Iva Quaintance Street. |

| The old mingles pleasantly with the new at the
home of Earl Rempp,"Fix-It Man" who lives three miles southeast of
Montezuma. Representing the old is the array of antique articles Rempp
has accumulated. In the new category are the modern tools he has
installed in his shop to perform odd jobs of "fixing" for farmers of
the neighborhood. Earl works with both metal and wood, doing small
projects for the most part. ~source: From the collection of Iva Quaintance Street. From the Montezuma Iowa Republican newspaper, Feb 1955. |
