1. Installing a Stoker

The old smoke stack in this picture (taken in 1931) was replaced in 1938 by a 125' stack.  Coal cars in foreground had been used many years previously for coal hauling from the salt work's own mine.  They were scrapped about 1935.  Note the two or three slender elm trees near the office.  These and several other beautiful elms, as well as nearly all other elms in this section, were killed by disease a few years later.
