Wisconsin Granite Company — Crushing Plant
| View down two sets of railroad tracks. There is an empty cart on the left set of tracks, and one cart full of large pieces of stone on the right set of tracks. The tracks converge further down, where a horse stands to the side of the tracks pulling another empty cart down from the tall industrial building in the background. Two men are standing nearby, one holding the reins to the horse, and the other holding the side of the cart. Other men are standing behind them on the ramp that leads up to the building. A steep hill is on the left, and trees are along the right. Caption at bottom reads: "Crushing Plant, Ableman, Wis." |
