Pluck and progress of two Washington County boys
Two brothers from the John Alex Young farm in Cedar left farming to learn a trade. They started in a Carthage, Missouri shop, worked hard, saved, and eventually bought a partner out. The pair moved their plant to Joliet Illinois and now run a thriving business handling major electrical contracts including two 280 horsepower engines for an electric street car line linking Carthage and Joplin. The story highlights their early mischief, steady earnings, and rise to enterprise.
