Abstract:
Records, 1909-2008 (bulk 1922-1998), of the Northern Wisconsin Cooperative Tobacco Pool, originally based in Madison, Wisconsin, which moved to Viroqua, Wisconsin, in 1940. Records include volumes of tobacco growers in the Cooperative before and after its split with the Southern division in 1938 through 2008, subject and correspondence files, financial audits, membership lists and general financial records. The cooperative's primary correspondents are President George Nygaard, Managers A.J. Peterson and George Nettum. Records also include those of a related cooperative, the Great Northern Cooperative Association (1943-1947), ledgers predating the cooperative's incorporation, and records documenting the Cooperative's dealings not only with the tobacco industry, but related industries such as railroad and lumber. Photographs include group portraits of directors, informal scenes of staff and growers, and fields and sheds.
