Mr. Laabs was one of Clark County’s most prominent businessmen, having been engaged in the cheese making industry all his life. He made his home at Curtiss, but controlled several cheese plants in this section of the country. He was associated with the Kraft Cheese Co. in business and was also vice president of the Curtiss State Bank.
