Water, has again received the con
trat for from 7,500 to 10,000 tons of
r.ugar stone to be delivered to the
Crystal Sugar company at Grand Is
land by October 1st.
For twenty years Mr. Olsen had
this contract but in 1938 he lost -to
Mason City, Iowa. The fact that it
has been returned to the Olsen Quar
ries at Weeping Water leaves no
doubt in Mr. Olsen's mind that the
"tone in this locality is the best
to be found in this country, and he is
not afraid to compete with contrac
tors anywhere.
Between twenty and twenty-five
men will have steady employment,
and shipping will start about the
middle of May.
The filling of this contract means
that altogether there will be about
600 cars of stone shipped from Olsen
Quarries, a3 the top layer of about
four feet or stone will produce about
230 cars of stone which will be ship
ped to the Ash Grove Portland Ce
ment Co. of Louisville. "From the
next four feet, about 200 cars to the
Crystal Sugar company, of Grand Island,-
and there will be at least 150

cars of building stone and of crush
ed stone for commercial -purposes.
Ole Olsen came to Weeping Water
in 1895 and has made this his home
continuously 'since that time. His
first experience in the stone business
was when he dug stone by hand just
west of the city park, and earned 1 40
in one year. His next experience was
when he started a stone quarry west
of town. His sole equipment was
then a team of horses and a wagon
and employed five men. His contract
that year was for one icarload of
stone per day.
In the year 1917 he had contract
with the Great Western Sugar Co.
of Denver, and shipped a trainload of
cars each day that season.
With his modern equipment today
and his large crusher plant west of
town he is now well equipped to fill
large orders.
