Verse for Thought

({Luke 14:11 NKJV})

Large brick sugarbeet rendering plant from which beet sugar is manufactured and sold under the label U & I Sugar. U & I Suger refers to Utah & Idaho, but also includes Colorado refineries. **Update: I consider myself a historian of the US Sugar Industry and know for a fact that during this mill's operation from 1905-1985, it was never owned by U&I Sugar nor had U&I Sugar packaged at this plant. Utah-Idaho Sugar never owned nor operated any mills in Colorado. Tony Hernandez 01/18/06**
