Al Furstnow, learned the saddlery business from his father. At age 19, he worked for Collins in Cheyenne in 1881.  In August 1884, he opened Furstnow’s Saddle Shop with himself as the sole employee
.
In December, his shop got a boost in capital and another able business mind when Charlie Coggshall bought a half-interest.
Furstnow and Coggshall added workers and became the only major saddlery between Billings and Dickinson, ND. In 1899, Furstnow and Coggshall split up, forming a rivalry that lasted well into the 20th Century.
