To celebrate his 25th anniversary, Bruce had Kettler Casting Co. located in Belleville, Illinois, manufacture cast iron anvil paperweights with “Bruce’s Welding” on one side and “Girard, Illinois” on the other. Voss Pattern Works made the pattern for the mold.
Bruce made anvils out of molten lead to celebrate his 15th anniversary in 1999. He poured 350 of these molten lead anvils which he gave away ten years ago. The cast iron paperweights are a unique keepsake which will help promote his welding business to his customers.
“I have many customers from a variety of backgrounds giving me a great base for my business even in the current recession.”
Bruce said he has been fortunate to be versatile in his business. Bruce is looking forward to his next 25 years in business.
