Hans company factory site split from general plan
At a La Crosse board of trade noon meeting directors voted to raise 2000 dollars to add to a 20000 dollar effort for a Haas Motor Equipment factory site. The Hans company site is divorced from the general factory site scheme to avoid jeopardy if the broader plan falters. A later meeting will resume discussions with North Side business leaders, aiming to complete the fund and align the project with city interests.
