1930s ELKHART LAKE, WI SAND & GRAVEL Co 25,000 Ton Pile + Train Tracks B&W Photo

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.
