Supplement to the Review • Week of June 30th, 2013 • Published by Lillie Suburban Newspapers, Inc.



Devoting himself to the rarecoin and precious metal tradefor well over three decades,Westerling’s commitment to thecustomer is second to none. Fromtheir Roseville office, he and hisassociates offer purchases andappraisals for estates, banks, insur-ance companies and individuals.

“My staff and I are dedicatedto helping people preserve andgrow their wealth,” Westerling

explains. “That’s why The TrumanCompany offers personalized ser-vice tailored to each individual.”

Introduced to the business byhis Uncle Truman, a young Roger became enamore d with coins. Thisnearly-lifelong passion encour-aged Westerling to open his own business und er the Truman name.

“Every time he visited my fam-ily, he gave me a coin that had aninteresting history. His hope wasthat I would develop a real inter-est in rare and unusual coins, andit worked,” Westerling says witha smile.

Westerling visited Minnesota toappraise a collection in 1998, andwas so touched by the welcome hereceived he decided to move bothhis home and business to St. Paul.He currently works with about3,000 clients around the country.

Westerling is a life memberof the American NumismaticAssociation and holds an A+rating with the Better BusinessBureau.

His knowledge can reassurepeople that they’re insuring orpricing such items correctly. “I’mmore than happy to visit a homeor bank to review a collection,”Westerling notes. “There’s a mar-

ket for everything!”

Though old coins appreci-ate gradually, precious metalshave undergone dramatic spikesover the past decade in value,Westerling adds. From 2002 to2013, the value of silver went up by 66 8 percent and go ld by 59 5percent. Many of Westerling’scustomers are currently trans-ferring individual retirementaccount funds from banks to aprecious metal IRA.

“I honestly think the pricesfor gold and silver will con-tinue to rise throughout ourlifetime, while the U.S. dollardeclines,” Westerling explains.“Transferring to a precious metalIRA can be an excellent invest-ment.”

Customers will feel at homein The Truman Company office,where they might even meet

Westerling’s pooch, Sonny, and

his wife, Donna, a Twin Citiesartist whose work is featuredthroughout the office.

Curious about the worth of

a personal collection? Roger

Westerling and his staff at TheTruman Company are ready tohelp.

The Truman Company: a valuable

source for coins and precious metalsT rust and confidence arekey in the coin indus-try, and customers

Help celebrate a century...

T his year, the Ramsey County

Fair is celebrating an important mile-

stone — its 100-year anniversary!

You read that right. The fair started

its run in 1913 in White Bear Lake,

and despite economic fluctuations, the

loss of family farms, changing attitudes

and fairground relocations, has only

missed one year in the last century, due

to a polio outbreak in 1947. According

to headlines in the Ramsey County

Review, not only were fair activitiesand community celebrations canceled

that year, but school opened two weeks

late in order to prevent disease spread.

Joe Fox: nearly half a

century with fair

Organizer Joe Fox is excited to cel-

ebrate the centennial year of the fair-

after all, he’s been helping organize

the Ramsey County fair for 47 years,nearly half of the annual fairs. He has

been the fair manager for 28 years and

been on the board of directors since

1966.

Fox has been a fair mainstay since he

was a boy. He showed his first sheep at

the Minnesota State Fair in 1938.

And his enthusiasm for the county

get-together hasn’t dimmed over the

years.

See the classics

Fox said this year, the fair, which

runs from July 10-14, will be bringing

back a few recent crowd favorites, such

as the youth pet show, and expanding

events that have been popular in the

past.

“This year, we’re having two car

shows,” Fox said. “There’s the regular

car show, like we’ve had in the past,

and we’re also adding a show with just

Model A and Model T cars from 1932

and before.”

Dan Nordstrom owns a 1913 Ford

Model T that will be on display

throughout the fair. He says he enjoys

sharing his antique vehicle with the

Paul to the southwest.




public and explaining its historical

context. And he’s committed to the

upkeep needed to keep a century-old

machine on the move.

“I believe these cars are meant to

be driven, and they’re meant to be

shared,” Nordstrom said. “A lot of peo-

ple walk by and say, ‘Oh, yeah, that’san old car,’ but I like to explain the his-

tory behind it.

“Most people don’t realize that a

Civil War veteran could have owned

this car,” he added.

The antique car show will be held

Saturday, July 13, from noon to 4 p.m.

The Ramsey County Fair Annual

Cruise-In car show will be Sunday,

July 14, from noon to 4 p.m. There

will be an awards ceremony for the

top 10 cars in the classic car show at

Above, it appears Ramsey County fairs our parents

and grandparents may have attended were more

modest affairs than today’s fair, with its light-

decked, multi-story rides and attractions. At left,

a well-to-do — and thoroughly up-to-date — family

might have driven this 1913 Model T to the fair in its

inaugural years. Dan Nordstrom, who owns the car

and will show it at the fair’s antique car show, keeps

it in running condition in order to be able to showmodern motorists how we got around in the old

days. This one, restored in green with red trim — the

last year Henry Ford allowed customers to order

their Ts in colors — had a 20 hp engine and might

have been able to hit a hair-raising, spine-jarring

40some miles per hour.

Above, local marching bands blast

popular tunes up and down the street

during the WBABA Parade. At left,

everyone loves a parade, and the White

Bear Avenue Parade is a perennial

favorite. This year’s parade lines up at

6 p.m. Wednesday, July 10 at Ivy Avenue

and heads north starting at 7 p.m. Theparade will end at Aldrich Arena just

north of Ripley Avenue. Make sure you

get to the curb early to claim a good

spot, as the spectacle draws marching

bands and parade units from all over

the metro area, as well as crowds.

This year’s White Bear Avenue Parade is puttingthe spotlight on the centennial anniversary of theRamsey County Fair.

Lisa Theis, community organizer for the WhiteBear Avenue Business Association, said this year,the parade is trying to “really highlight and show-case 100 years of the fair.”

Even the number of units participating inthe parade is symbolic! About 100 units are cur-rently signed up to march north down White BearAvenue from Ivy Avenue to Aldrich Arena, near

the site of the Ramsey County fairgrounds.Of those units, eight are musical units, ranging

from radio stations to marching bands, so wear yourdancing shoes and be ready to bust a move!The parade is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, July 10, and run until about 9 p.m.Theis said the parade typically draws between

10,000 and 12,000 people, if the weather is favor-able - sunny and not too hot. Parade-goers shouldarrive early to secure a good spot for nabbing candy.

“Everybody should come see the parade,” Theissaid. “It’s a really great community event.”

Did you know the RamseyCounty Fair was canceled in 1946

due to a polio outbreak that infect-ed one out of every 2,649 residentsin St. Paul?

That’s just one of many interest-ing facts included in a new publi-cation commemorating the 100thanniversary of the county fair.

History buff Jim Lindner takesreaders on a journey of the fair’spast in his 36-page booklet “DownThrough the Years,” starting withits founding in 1913 in White BearLake to its present-day location inMaplewood.

“I want to share my understand-ing of the historical perspective of the fair,” said Lindner, who livesin Gem Lake. “The people who goto the fair now can learn the 100-

year history of it. If someone wastransported from now to 1913, theywouldn’t recognize the fair then.”

The fair has a tale to tell. Itbegan as an agricultural hub wherefarmers showcased their produceand livestock, serving as an educa-tional venue as well.

As the rural parts of RamseyCounty gave way to suburban liv-

ing during the 1950s, the fair hadto adjust its events to appeal toa new generation of visitors andemphasize more creative arts activi-ties and shows rather than agricul-

tural.The fair was forced to relocate

after the White Bear Lake SchoolBoard purchased the fairgrounds toexpand its school facilities in 1953.The following year the fair tookplace on the grounds of what wasthen known as the Ramsey CountyPoor Farm on White Bear Avenue.

Lindner said he was struck bythe fair’s resiliency during hisresearch. The county has seenmany demographic changes overthe decades, and while the fairremains connected to its agricul-ture past, there is more emphasison family-orientated entertainmentnow, Lindner said.

He dedicated approximately 60hours to researching and writingthe booklet, which includes pho-

tos that he found in newspapers,as well as some of his own photosfrom past fairs.

Joe Fox, Ramsey County Fairmanager, said the booklet adds tothe fair’s 100-year celebration. “Hedid a good job. ... It shows reallyhow agriculture has changed andcounty fairs.”

Lindner will be signing copies

of “Down Through the Years” dur-ing the Ramsey County Fair July10-14. Visit www.ramseycountyfair.com for more information.

Booklet commemorates 100-year milestone

Jim Lindner compiled a special commemorative booklet about the Ramsey County

Fair’s century mark to illustrate the big changes the fair faced along the way

— and the many ways it’s kept its traditions.
