 | | Lewistown’s Montana Hardware Company secured the contract in the spring, but at a special city council meeting on June 14, 1902, A. Warr, representing the hardware concern, suggested that money could be saved and utility served if stone and cement construction were used rather than steel. |
 | | Regardless of labels, it was the Croatians’ craft which brought them to Lewistown, and their talent was increasingly apparent as structure after structure, all made of native stone, were built. |
