A wooden grain elevator at Tilston, on the CPR Alida Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Two Borders, was built between 1927 and 1928 by Manitoba Pool Elevatorson behalf of a local association. When an adjacent Lake of the Woods elevator was purchased in 1959, it became known as Pool A. Closed in 1976 due to a washed out bridge on the railway line, the elevator was sold for local grain storage.
