1930s

The first elevator built in Dysart was the North Star in 1906, and it was destroyed by fire in 1927. The Dysart “P” elevator was built in 1923 by the Brook Elevator Company and sold to the Pioneer Elevator Company in 1928. Annexes were added in 1949 and 1953. In 1951, Pioneer “W” elevator was purchased from Western Grain; the elevator had been built in 1906 by the Maple Leaf Milling Company. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool “A” elevator was built in 1912. It was in use for approximately 40 years. In 1928, the office burnt down, but the elevator was saved. In 1950, it was demolished, and a new one was erected with an annex added in 1958. Wheat Pool “B” was built in 1927 and purchased from the Federal Grain Company in 1972. It had two annexes added over the years. Wheat Pool “C” was originally built in 1910, destroyed by fire in 1928, and rebuilt. It too was purchased from the Federal Grain Company in 1972, which had bought it from the United Grain Growers in 1969. It was no longer in use in 1976.
