INGWAL G. WILSON (1885)

Ingwal G. Wilson, of Hazel Run, is manager and treasurer of the Jertson
Mercantile Company.  This company which is a farmers' co-operative
institution, was organized by the farmers of the vicinity in 1906.  It was
incorporated and capitalized for $25,000, to do a general merchandise
business.

The home of the company is a large modern building, 56 x 75 feet.  The
officers are: C. E. Wilson, president; H. L. Jertson, secretary; Ingwal G.
Wilson, treasurer and manager; these, with B. S. Berg and M. M. Anderson,
constitute the board of directors.  There are about thirty-five
stockholders.

The firm suffered a loss by fire in July, 1910.  Since then the new building
has been put up and all new goods bought.  The stock is a large one, and the
company is one of the successful co-operative concerns in the southwest part
of the state.
