The city s first apartment building was the Van Dorn, later renamed the Mengedoht Apartments, at 22nd and Leavenworth Streets. A quarter-century later and across Leavenworth was built the Drake Court.

Dale Evans accepts the Plastics News Processor of the Year award at the Executive Forum in Naples, Fla.
Oshkosh, Wis. To hear Dale Evans say it, the people running Evco Plastics Inc. are simple, humble Wisconsin farm folk who are in the middle of a $12 million investment to expand in the United States, China and Mexico.
Don t be fooled by Evans soft-spoken demeanor. Evco, which turned 50 years old in 2014, helped pioneer the plastics factory of the future, dubbed the Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP), and established a mold-building factory in China and both big moves came in 1989, well before other plastics processors.
