Figure 20 Arkona’s Basket Factory was located on the west side of the Arkona Road south of Ward Street across the creek that flowed underneath. Established and built by G.M. Everest in the 1890s it manufactured berry baskets for the burgeoning berry farms. It continued despite a serious fire in 1897, but was replaced in 1902 and would remain in business until after the First World War. Courtesy of the Arkona and Area Historical Society.
