Sonic Equipment and The New Klein Lumber Company were recognized Thursday night as the large and small business of the year, respectively, by the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce at its annual banquet.
Also in the limelight were Duane McGraw and Loren Korte for their contributions to the Chamber over the many years.
