    Description

    Up for sale is this RARE & UNIQUE c1930s B&W 5x7 Gelatin Silver Photograph on heavy paper stock showing Sand/Gravel Piles weighing 25,000 TONS at the ELKHART Sand & Gravel Company which was located in Elkhart Lake, Wis.
    Upper right shows an elevated train trestle, while bottom edge shows a lower set of train tracks.
    I could only find a couple references to this company in Early 1920's trade journals, but it must have been a BIG business since they had 5 plants operating on 700 acres.
    I don't know when the company was founded / ended, if you know please enlighten me.
    This would make a wonderful addition to your collection.
    It is RARE because I can't find even a single record of anything selling from this company on eBay.
