Another salvaged slide from the 1954 Minnesota State Fair featuring a handsome looking array of Minneapolis-Moline machinery.
Fun fact: one of the farm equipment company's production factories was located right here in the neighborhood on Lake and Minnehaha. The factory was a neighborhood staple and major employer for decades but eventually shuttered its doors in 1973. The building was razed, and in 1975 construction began on the Minnehaha Mall, which still stands today.
