Looking for a "Lakes Region" business historian

[PaugusBayFireFighter]

I was searching a crawl space in the basement of my house and I came upon this safe. The original owner of my house probably owned the safe, but left it..I'm guessing it was too heavy to move. I researched the safe, which was empty , and found it was made around 1915. When I found pictures of similar safes online I noticed the only difference in them was the business name above the door. My safe was owned by "A. L. WHITTEN". I was wondering if this name rings a bell to any long time residents. I'd love to be able to know the story behind this safe.
