TRANSCRIPT

They called it rock salt and you could buy fine, two mesh and three mesh. Two mesh and three mesh that means that in one inch square in a screen there's two squares to the inch and three mesh there would be three squares to the square inch. They gauge right down to finer than a screen door.

So what grade, what mesh that mostly was sold?

A lot of it was two mesh, and fish salt they take and mix the different sizes together to make up whatever. They still do the same thing today, whatever somebody orders is what they want.

So what was the quality like of the salt?

Oh, 99.99.
