He has since been en- gaged in looking after his farming in- terests and dealing in potatoes. He has other interests in Barnesville, but the potato business is the live wire for about six months of each year. His model potato cellar is located on the Great Northern track. It is 60x60 feet, is 12 feet deep, has solid cement walls and reinforced concrete roof. Potatoes are sorted in through man- holes, and again sorted before ship- ment. The capacity of the cellar is 35,000 bushels. Mr. Gunness expects to handle about 400 carloads from the 1915 crop. The people of Clay County have many things to which they may point with pride. If any one questions the fact that Clay is a most prosperous community, the fact that the county does not owe a single dollar of bonded debt is a pretty convincing Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Meeker, D.
