E. D. Nash, grain dealer, and proprietor of St. Joseph Elevator No. 1.
One of the most important features of the commerce of St. Joseph is its
grain trade.  The largest dealer in this branch, not only in St. Joseph
but in the Northwest, is E. D. Nash, who came to Missouri from his
native State, New York, in 1859, and has since been closely identified 
as a buyer and shipper of grain.  The capacity of the St. Joseph ele-
vator is 175,000 bushels.  Mr. Nash was formerly, for several years, in
the grain trade at Savannah.  He commenced business in St. Joseph in
1869, the firm being Waterman & Nash.  In 1875 he built the St. Joseph
elevator.  During the year 1880 the receipts amounted to one and a half
million bushels.  Mr. Nash buys at Savannah, Rosedale, Bolckow, Barnard,
Pickering, Hopkins, Forest City, Craig, Mound City, Maitland, Skidmore,
Whitman and other points.
