Stone Quarry Operations Begin Near Waverly Iowa
The Cedar River Stone and Gravel company started stone crushing east of Waverly with about forty workers, led by President John Sims and secretary Gladys Sims on site, and with Ralph B. Slippy managing the Waterloo office. The firm plans a cableway to move gravel to rail cars and has purchased equipment with a royalty lease to John Carey. Local social notes include Masons dinner in Waterloo and visits by Cedar Falls clubs and area residents.
