I believe this was once the site of the E.T. Slider Sand and Gravel Co.
There was a sternwheel towboat named <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://digital.library.louisville.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/howard/id/388/rec/3">"E.T. Slider"</a> (T0663 in <i>Way's Steam Towboat Directory</i>), built in Jeffersonville, Indiana, in 1900 and dismantled in 1914.
There are some pictures of the "E.T. Slider" as well as the "C.C. Slider" (T0312; named for Chester C. Slider, son of E.T. Slider) in the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://uwdc.library.wisc.edu/collections/LaCrosseSteamboat">UW-La Crosse Historic Steamboat Photographs collection</a>. Click on the "Search the Collection" link, then enter the boat name in the box.
