Book Title: History Of Shawnee County, Kansas

CROSBY ROLLER MILLING COMPANY.

    The State of Kansas is justly celebrated for its immense crops of wheat,
which have brought wealth, and prosperity to all branches of industry within the
commonwealth's borders. As the most important railroad center in the State, and
therefore the possessor of splendid transportation facilities, the city of
Topeka has had much to do with the forwarding of the grain and with the
manufacture of the cereal into flour.

    Among the important flour milling concerns of this city, the Crosby Roller
Milling Company occupies one of the leading positions. The company was organized
in 1883, and for 22 years has transformed many millions of bushels of hard wheat
into the very best of flour, which has been disposed of in both home and foreign
markets, and has won for itself a high reputation among those that demand the
very best of wheat flour. The daily capacity of the plant is some 1,200 barrels.
A view of the mill is shown on another page of this work. The officers of the
company are as follows: Guilford Dudley, president; Franklin W. Crosby,
vice-president; D. C. Hammatt, secretary; Daniel Crosby, treasurer; and T. D.
Hammatt, manager. Since the above was written, the president of the company,
Guilford Dudley, died April 14, 1905.
