The business district in the City of Louisburg is small but proud. We’d like to concentrate on one business as an example of the can-do spirit that permeates the district.
M&K Blasting occupies some important space on Normandy Road. They own a system for cleaning autos, trucks, recreational vehicles, metal furniture, brick, concrete and just about anything else. We are talking about a really thorough cleaning here. It eliminates dangerous toxic chemicals, strips away layers of paint, removes baked-on grease, cleans away disgusting mold, and even removes the damage caused by uncontrolled fires and the resulting smoke. And here is the kicker: it does it in environmentally friendly way. So no matter how badly a piece of metal, brick or concrete is messed up, M&K Blasting has the tools and the technical know-how to clean it up.
Their special equipment is portable, so it goes to the scene of the grime. Yes, they are completely mobile! There is nowhere in Louisburg, Kansas vicinity that M&K Blasting can’t reach. And once they get there, stand back! Through the use of special, non-destructive abrasives, they have been able to perfect a system that completely eliminates sanding and scrubbing. What you are left with is material that is clean and restored. Yet as powerful a technique as this is, you can use it on parts that have chrome or glass without fear of damage.
The people at M&K Blasting are so confident of their service, they will even give you a free estimate. They are truly fine representatives of the Louisburg Kansas business district. But they are not alone – here is an honor role of some other Louisburg businesses:
- Bomar Designs: they make molded design appliqués for furniture, picture framing, interior design and architecture.
- Miami County Marketing: a sales lead firm that sells leads to real estate speculators in the Louisburg area.
- Meridian Accounting: the last word (or digit?) in accounting expertise for all personal and commercial clients.
- Heartland Business Services: this is June McDonald’s accounting business that is a favorite among local residents.
- Spring Valley Nursery: the place to go when you need a plant nursery, specializing in the wholesale end of the business.
- Emerald Prairie Nursery: the other place to go for when you need a plant nursery, especially if you need containerized trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses. Also a great place to get mulch.
There you have it, a slice of Americana in the businesses of Louisburg Kansas, where the prairie values of old still hold sway.
