Nelson Grain Co.
Adds 170,000 bu.
Storage Building
The Nelson Grain Company of
Claude is now building a new
Butler building, 70x120 feet on a
concrete floor with walls 20 feet
high.
The Nelsons are proud of this
new storage that will hold an
additional 160,000 to 170,000 bush-
els ol grain.
This nf>w building is located
east of the business office and
will be handy for loading into
boxcars on the rail spur running
through the company yard.
It is hoped that the new build-
• ing will be completed by the time
it is needed for the harvest, which
some predict should get underway
in a few short weeks.
With this addition to the large
grain storage space the Nelson
Grain has, they hope to be able
to take care of all the storage
needs of the wheat and grain
harvested this year.
