was married to Miss Emily Jameson, sister
of Alex Jameson, his partner. There are
two children.

Wedge Hardware Co.,
Hardware. Plumbing

Ven Grover Wedge manager and part
owner of the Wedge Hardware Company.
Third street, has supplied considerable of the
younger blood which, in turn has infused
new pep and ginger into Sank Centre in the
past decade. Mr.. Wedge succeeded to the
oldest established hardware business in the
city, following such pioneers and successful
owners and managers as H. P. Gallup B. w.
How and O. H. Schleusener. By dint of
personality, square business methods, honest
goods and hustling, he has not only main
tanned the reputation of the old established
business but the books of the firm show an
increase of business every year since MIR.
Wedge has been in control and a CORES
ponding increase in the expansion of the es-
Enlistment. The concern carries complete
line of hardWare-from brass tack to a
steam furnace-and also contracts for any
sort of timing, heating or plumbing job. To
take care of the trade Mr.. Wedge employs
four men and gives his personal attention
to the management. He has been active in
civic matters and is a live member of both
the Commercial Club and Fair Association,
though he has been a Sank Centreite only
four years.
Mr.. Wedge came here in 1911 and with
his uncle, A. H. Grover, purchased from the
Schleussner Hardware Company the estab-

lshment of which he is now the head. The
firm was known as Grover & Wedge Co. I'M
mediately the stock was increased and some
new methods introduced. The business
showed growth from the very beginning. In
May, 1918, Mr.. Grover retired from the con-
Germ, his interest being acquired by N. T.
Wedge, father of Ven Grover Wedge. The
elder Wedge, however, remains silent part
ner, leaving the entire management to his
son, while he conducts an extensive lumber
business at Zumbrota, MINI, . ..

of Zumbrota, where he born Jan. 25, 1890, He

Erwin, Jameson and Whitson purchased the
entire holdings and have conducted the bust
ness since. Mr.. Erwin is the active head of
the concern, with Mr.. Jameson assisting.
For little over year now, Mr.. Whitson has
been silent partner. The plant not only has
an enviable clientele in this vicinity but has
several smaller elevators in towns along the
Great Northern and N. P. lines of railroad.
A. E. Erwin, manager, widely noted for his
geniality, has been engaged in farming or in
the grain business all his life. He was born
on farm in St. Lawrence county, New York,
in 1849. In 1854 he went with his folks to
Wisconsin and lived there on farm seven

previous to their marriage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bjone have six children, all

to increased business. AS result they eX-
tended their building on the front onto land
owned by them which had been utilized for
sidewalk and which not only gave hand
some front to the structure but squared up
the corner in line with other buildings on
the street. More attractive appearance was
also given to the Third street side and an
outside entrance afforded to tenants of the
second floor These changes gave the con-
Germ much more store space and allowed
the installation of new interior fixtures. The
new store is handsome one and credit to
the most important business corner of the
city.
Mr.. Hanson was born in Bergen Norway,
in 1865, and secured his education in the
High School of that city, which is the second

ceased, daughter of his partner, and has two
children. He has been member of the
Board of Education for thirteen years and is
also member of the Commercial Club and
Fair Association. In the earlier days he was
member of the Sank Centre Band

tive part in the business and who has been
retired from business pursuits for many
years, was born in Norway on July II, 1889.

VATOR COMPANY

The present Erwin Elevator Company
plant is the daddy" of all elevators in Sank
Centre. 1t has had many owners since it's
birth in 1875, but it is still doing business at
the old stand near the Great Northern Depot
buying and selling all kinds of grain and feed
and maintaining it's Al reputation. In the
10th year of it's existence Alex Jameson is
president of the concern, J. E. Whitson is
vice president and A. E. Erwin secretary and
general manager. Incidentally, Mr.. Erwin
has been manager under every one of the
many companies which have owned the insti-
tuition.
The plant was founded in 1875 by Nelson
Hoople, who erected the elevator building
which still is utilized by the present COM
pany. At that time there were two mills in
the city but no elevators. Four years later
Mr. Hoople erected mill This burned in
1883 and on the site was erected the feed
mill which remains part of the existing
plant.
Mr.. Hoople retired from the business in
1884, when N. r. Steadman entered the COM
pany and it became known as the Steadman
Elevator Company. At various times Ormus
