Lively Maggly Junction area grows fast with new industries
A section of the peninsula near the Hill road crossing, Maggly Junction, is described as rapidly developing from a few barns to a thriving hub with a store, two wood working factories, coal and timber yard, gravel and sand company, and a planned large flour mill. Locals invite cooperation with nearby towns John and St John to boost growth, while a railroad renamed the station to St John and Maggly locals embrace the change. Portage winter visitor J M Russell and First National Bank cashier FP Drinker are noted, and a contrast is drawn between Wisconsin snow and blossoming roses here as the writer asks readers to note the paper label.
