DESCRIPTION |
ILASCO, MO - This picture shows how large
the Quarry crew of the cement plant was. Keeping in mind that this
was still the Depression, the number of employees in this one section of
the plant alone, shows how prosperous the plant was. Even in hard
times cement was still in high demand. Although none of the
employees are identified, many of them were probably second or third
generation from the original immigrant workers. |
