Those who may wish to see many more photographs of American Grass Twine/Crex products and operations have a few sources readily available. The Minnesota Historical Society library has one copy of Creating New Industries, the company's 1901 self-laudatory history, and a 1919 Crex full-color rug catalog. The Crex Nature Center in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, has a history display, with photographs not shown here or in the article, and a Crex rug. In warm weather one can also see wire grass growing in the peat bogs..
