Storm Lake's oldest industry, founded in 1896, operates as the Storm Lake Tank Company. It builds redwood water tanks and silos for a five state region, using largely the same plant and methods since opening. Harold Fritz Saathoff has owned it since 1956, with shop workers Martin Kahn and Chas Carstensen among longtime staff. Located at East Fourth and Seneca, the quiet firm ships in bulk and runs on supply and demand.
