Mankato Men Interested
In the Enterprise
CAPITAL IS AT $4,000
Material to Be Sold For Differ
ent Purposes; High-Frade
..s. - Article

Actual work commenced today in a
new industrial plant in this city
which was recently capitalized al
$4,000. This is the Guaranteed
Gravel and Sand company. This
company has leased eighteen acres OF
land containing some of the bes,
gravel in the state on the Gilbert
Hall estate in LeHillier. Soundings
show that the bed OF gravel extends a
depth of fifty feet. 1t will be the aim
OF the new company to furnish con
tractors throughout this part of the
state and even other states with the
best washed gravel obtainable. The
bed contains Blue Earth river gravel
which is noted tfor its excellency in
building of all kind.
The company was recently incor-
porated under the state laws of Min
neSota with capitalization Of $4,000
in common stock, which has been
placed exclusively with residents of
MankaIo. The following are the
names of the we'll known business
men, who have been elected as Of
fcerS:
observation-disclosures G. Emery.
Vice Presldent--George Keene.
Secretary-George H. Morrow.
Treasurer-Emil Schoyne.
High Grade Material.
The exceptionally high grade of
the material which the company pro-
duces renders it not only superla-
tive for cement and concrete work
but ideal for the surfacing Of high
ways. The plant is equipped with
the best Of modern machinery not
only for the sxcavating of gravel
but for its washing, screening and
grading. Cars on the company's
side track which is now completed
large storage bin while the other
side is arranged for the loading of
trucks.
competent judges, men who have
had large experience In the erect
ing and equipping of plants for hand
ling this class of material pronounce
this to be the most modern and COM
plete of any in Minnesota and state
that the company will be in a posi-
ton to furnish the very best grade of
gravel and sand SO screened, washed
and graded as to meet all the varied
requirements of the trade.
President Emery stated to The
Free Press today that the plant and
the company has advanced orders
sufficient to keep the plant running
full capacity UP to January 1, 1922,
providing the weather conditions
will permit
A lease of twenty years has been
taken on the ground. The bed of
gravel is practically inexhaustable,
owing to the fact that every spring
the current Of the Blue Earth will
carry down gravel which will fill In
the pits already excavated.
Owing to the fact that Minnesota
is fast becoming one of the leading
states in the good roads movement
and that good roads are possibly only
by the use OF good gravel and sand,
it is predicted that Mankato will soon
become we'll and favorably known
to good road boosters in Minnesota
and Iowa, as headquarters for the
best in road material. That this ad :
Vertising will certainly rebound very
much in Mankato's favor.
Mankato people generally will join
with The Free Press in wishing the
new enterprise a prosperous career.
