    Frank KAUFMAN

    Frank Kaufman received a patent in 1887 for a machine that could be used for stretching a picket wire fence. It had power to draw 3500 pounds. With this machine a farmer could utilize all his old pieces of boards to make a durable fence. (Source: Indianola Herald, May 5th, 1887 p. 3)
