"It was up, up and away at Bak's Market on Wednesday, August 21 when the windmill on top of the market was completed. The job of lifting the blades up to the steel stand took only minutes after workmen finished putting the finishing touches on them.

The blades and shaft alone weigh two tons and will turn at one and a half revolutions per minute when the drive motor is installed."
