Description: Hutchinson, KANSAS - Morton Salt Plant - 1910: Company founder Joy Morton, a Chicago investor, first purchased land in South Hutchinson for salt mining in 1898. Morton built a couple of plants, each a bit larger, before opening the predecessor of today’s South Hutchinson plant in 1906 - eight years before introduction of the company’s longtime logo. While that plant has expanded several times over the years, the latest $7.5 million upgrade occurred just about a year ago, securing the plant’s future for many more years. The plant, which produces highly pure salt using a steam heat “open pan” evaporation process, currently employs about 150 people and produces some 350,000 short tons of salt a year. The local facility produces the classic 26 ounce Morton Table Salt product, 3 pound Kosher Salt, Morton System Saver II Water Softening Salt, and many other salt products used in food manufacturing and other industrial processes, according to Denise Lauer, Morton director of communications. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1910, is in good condition, but shows some edge wear.
