A fire devastated the North Liberty Lumber and Coal Company in 1953. Everything on the property was destroyed except an old shed that had, ironically, been considered the greatest fire risk. The rebuilt property, which included a 10,000-square-foot warehouse and 8,000-square-foot store and office, is shown here in the mid-1950s. (Courtesy of Big C. Lumber Co.)

In the spring of 1964, the Walkerton Industrial Fund purchased 32.5 acres at the west end of town for a new industrial park. Plas Steel was the first business to break ground that year. Among those pictured at the Plas Steel ground-breaking ceremony are, in no particular order, Denslow Doll, Mrs. Shobert, Samuel Shobert, Nick LaFeber, George Parks, Branson Hiatt, Mahlon Jacob, Dave Mellin, and Wayne Burch.
