a small scale, continuing in this way
until 1895, when Joseph Robitshek be-
came a partner. A constantly in
creasing business was the result of this
change, and in January 1900, the
firm was further augmented by the

the National Cordage company in their

at Xenia. Since 1898 all of their
mills have been enlarged and greatly
improved, and during the present year
another complete mill has been built

power to operate them; that they
clogged easily, and that they chopped
the straw into small bits. He set
about overcoming these faults The
result is the Fosston Wind Stacker Of
