Plat book of Morrison County, Minnesota, circa 1912. Hardcover, green with maroon spine and corners. Though hardcover, this book appears to be a scrapbook, with irregular fold-out pages of plat maps cut from another source and pasted within. Inside the front cover, there are several stamp markings that say, "Vertin's Insurance Agency, Little Falls, Minn." Inside the back cover is a fold-out map of the entire county. Several pages are coming loose from the binding. This plat book was used by John Vertin, who was a land dealer and insurance salesman in Little Falls. He also served as city treasurer for Little Falls for 44 years, was on the city council for 3 terms, served as president of the Chamber of Commerce for a time, helped organize Little Falls Federal Savings and Loan, and was a founding partner of the Little Falls Black Granite Company. This book was donated to MCHS by Don Derosier, who took over as owner of the Girtz Barbershop in downtown Little Falls. The barbershop was started by Joseph Girtz, whose wife was Agnes (Vertin) Girtz, one of John Vertin's daughters. John Vertin built the Vertin Block, the building in which the Girtz Barbershop was located. Before it was a barbershop, the building was home to John Vertin's real estate and insurance business. This book was found in the basement of the Vertin Block when Don Derosier took ownership of the building.
