Inglis boasts the five dominant grain elevator companies that have stood the test of time
Above photo shows the Twin Reliance elevator
This is one of the smaller elevators built in 1922 by Matheson-Lindsay
"Double elevator complex in the middle of the row"
The lower side building housed the agent's office on the upper level and the diesel engine
on the lower level. Being replaced by an electric motor in 1949. The two buildings were joined by a catwalk

Here I am standing in front of the United Grain Growers (UGG)
Elevator
'UGG built the first elevator at Inglis in 1922. It was replaced in 1925 after fire destroyed the original. Fire
is a constant concern because of the dry wood in the building and the highly combustible grain'
