WILLIAM G. KELLOGG
William G. Kellogg, president of the Delmar Grain Company of Minneapolis, has
throughout his business career been connected with the grain trade in the upper
Mis­sissippi valley and his long experience, his thoroughness, his enterprise
and his dili­gence have brought him to the creditable position which he now
occupies and in which his efforts are estimated in the terms of success. Mr.
Kellogg is a native son of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, born November 24, 1888. His
parents were John L. and Alice (Bowen) Kellogg. The father, a native of
Skaneateles, New York, was identified with railroad business throughout his
life, being long associated with the Lehigh Valley road, while subsequently he
was with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road for a number of years. He passed
away at the age of sixty-six. His wife, a daughter of Abraham Bowen and a
representative of one of the old families of the state of New York, is living at
the age of sixty-eight years.
William G. Kellogg attended the public and high schools of his native city and
when his school days were over went to work for the Fogg & Taylor Grain Company
of Milwaukee, with which he remained from 1906 until 1909. He then established
business on his own account with a partner under the firm name of Stacks &
Kellogg, grain shippers of Milwaukee, where he continued his operations until
1917. He then came to Minneapolis as manager for the Armour Grain Company and
was thus asso­ciated until 1922, when the Delmar Grain Company was formed and
Mr. Kellogg was elected to the presidency. The company has a paid-up capital of
one hundred thousand dollars and the business, though young, is now of
substantial nature and is steadily growing, for back of the enterprise are men
of long and valuable experience in connection with the grain trade of the upper
Mississippi valley. In fact, Mr. Kellogg is regarded as one of the best informed
men in this section of the country and has made a most creditable name for
himself in business circles. He closely studies all the conditions and chances
of the trade and has wisely improved his opportunities with the result that
prosperity in substantial measure has come to him.
On the 24th of November, 1916, Mr. Kellogg was married in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
to Miss Ruth Rankin, a daughter of Manard G. Rankin of that city, where he is a
well known grain merchant and leading resident. To Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg has been
born a daughter, Patricia, now three years of age. The parents are members of
St. Mark's Episcopal church and in his political faith Mr. Kellogg is a
republican. He took part in all of the Liberty bond drives during the World war
and was also a mem­ber of the Protective League of Milwaukee through that
momentous period in the his­tory of the country. He belongs to the Civic &
Commerce Association in Minneapolis, which indicates his interest in the welfare
and progress of the city, and he is also well known in organizations of a more
strictly social nature, having membership in the Minneapolis Athletic Club, the
Interlachen Country Club and the White Bear Club. His recreation is obtained
through golf and boating, but he is a most persistent and resolute young
business man, actuated by a spirit of ambition and progress in all that he
undertakes.
