This two-story cinder block structure is the new home of Wier's Gun Shop at 3245 Washtenaw Ave., outside the city limits. The shop will house the gun repair and custom built firearms business that Edwin W. Wier began more than 30 years ago as a hobby in the basement of his home.

NO, IT ISN'T WAR PREPARATION; JUST DEER SEASON PLANNING: Anyone who thinks the approaching deer hunting season doesn't mean a speed-up for the gun smith need only look at this picture taken in the Wier Gun Shop on Washtenaw Rd. Edwin Wier is shown holding one of the many deer rifles he hopes to have ready for perfect action come mid-November. That rack of artillery behind him is just a small part of the total number of guns he's now working over.

GUNS TO BE PROUD OF: Most hunters take considerable pride in their rifles and other weapons but the owners-to-be of these three deer rifles will have special reasons for pride in ownership of these especially-made 270s. Edwin W. Wier (left) and his son Raynard G. Wier, study the examples of their craftsmanship. The gun in the foreground is equipped with a rare Cutts compensator which reportedly increases accuracy and decreases the amount of recoil. Each of the rifles has been carefully polished and oiled.
