St. Clair, MI salt production highlighted in community sesquicentennial

Among the early industries that created the community of St. Clair, MI, only the salt industry remains. Now owned by Cargill Salt, the facility is best known for its unique role in producing Alberger salt, invented at the site in 1886. A 1998 photo from the St. Clair Times Herald shows the Alberger pan.
