SAUK CENTER BOOMING.  Senator Henry Keller Waxes Enthusiastic Over the City by the Sauk.  Senator Henry Keller dropped into the Merchants last evening from Sauk Center to close a $10,000 contract with James Simmons for the manufacture of the Simmons’ refrigerator at his Sauk Center plant.  He says:  Sauk Center can challenge any town in the state.  It is a model place to live in; business is booming; everybody has got something to do; real estate is stiffening up; and it is one of the nicest little railroad centers in the country.  The new Huron & Denver route is being graded in there, and Jim Hill’s road that runs clean out to the Great Falls, Mont., is being leveled off and an extra track is being put in.  These roads are bringing a pile of business, Manager Hubbard, of the Rosenberger Manufacturing Company of St. Cloud, has bought a $3,000 residence for his home in Sauk Center, and his Hubbard Hammock chair business is booming.  He goes to Buffalo, N. Y., to-day.  The crops look splendid all around Sauk Center.  We have one of the finest water powers in the land, and there is plenty of coal.  The Keller Manufacturing company has put up a foundry within the last year, and a new brick yard has started at Sauk Center.  (The Saint Paul Daily Globe, Thursday Morning, July 21, 1887, Volume IX, Number 202, Page 2)
