Today’s business is Crane Johnson Lumber Co.
We are located in Mayville, North Dakota and the company was founded in Cooperstown, North Dakota in 1883. The company was founded by Maynard Crane, one of the original settlers of Griggs County, who moved to Cooperstown from England. He took on a partner, John E. Johnson, who was a local farmer in 1896. In the next few decades they opened stores in Hannaford, McHenry, Diasy, Glenfield, Juanita, Riviere, Karnak, Hope, Page, Mayville, Enderlin, Milnor, Hallock, Pelican Rapids, and Perham. The Mayville location was opened in 1949. The corporate headquarters moved to Fargo in 1932. We currently employ 2 full-time workers and 3 part-time workers.
At current time, we have locations in Mayville, Pelican Rapids, Perham and Fargo.
Located on 10 acres at the intersection of Main Ave and I-29, the Fargo location is home to our primary lumberyard and serves a distribution facility for our branch locations. It also houses our window sales departments where we assemble and service Andersen and Silverline windows. In 1965 Crane Johnson established its truss manufacturing subsidiary, Mid States Truss, on the site through which we produce quality roof and floor trusses using Mitek engineering.
All of these “companies within a company” – along with an in-house credit department, drafting department, and full-service delivery with boom trucks, semis, vans, truck-mounted lifts, and cranes- combine to make Crane Johnson Lumber the area’s premier supplier to contractors.
All evening activities tonight Jan. 18th are canceled.
The girls basketball games tonight at home against Park River Area have been postponed until next Friday January 28th. Athletes please communicate with coaches about updates with practice.

Todays Business is KMSR, INC dba KMAV-FM / 99KMSR 98.9 FM & 1520 AM!
Austin Kramer started KMAV-AM in 1969 and added KMAV-FM in 1972. Rick Flacksbarth and his investors took ownership in 1980’s. A couple other owners were involved in the early 1990’s. R & J Broadcasting purchased the stations in 1993 and hired me (Dan Keating) to manage the stations. Mary Keating started in sales in July of 1993. All 4 Keating men Dan, Craig, Mike and Jason have broadcast games at one time or the other. All four of our children Craig, Mike, Jason and Jennifer worked as game engineers at one time.

The radio stations have been in the same location since 1969. In August of 1994 straight line wind hit the building and blew off half the roof and damaged the walls. The current building opened in October 1994. KMAV-AM was changed to KMSR-AM in September of 2008. It is in honor of the name of the radio station I worked at from September of 1979 through August of 1981 in Sauk Centre, MN where I met my wife Mary.
At this time we have four employees. Mary Keating President & Sales Manager, Craig Keating Vice President & Sports, Dan Keating General Manager, Sales, and Sports. Mike Keating Office Manager.
