 On Aug. 20, 1956, Louis Klumpp celebrated the 50th anniversary of his leather and saddlery business in Auburn. He purchased the business from Charlie Whitten on Aug. 20, 1906, which was located at 804 Lincoln Way. He later moved the business to the Hink Block (818 Lincoln Way) where it remained for 10 years. He then moved the business to 835 Lincoln Way, where it remained for almost 70 years.
Klumpp’s shop became one of the best leather and saddlery shops in the state with many items being custom made. He retired from business in 1957, and turned everything over to his daughter, Marian, and son-in-law Ray Jackson. Louis Klumpp was a Mason, a charter member of the Tahoe Club and a member of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department. At the time of his death in 1964, his business was the oldest in the Auburn Chamber of Commerce.
Ray and Marian Jackson successfully ran the business until they sold it to Jane Cook in 1972. Cook ran the business until it closed for good in 1986.
Louis Klumpp is buried in the Old Auburn Cemetery and may be included in a future Old Auburn Cemetery Tour. This year’s Old Auburn Cemetery Tour will be Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. No reservations are required and it’s free!
