Complete Miniature Factory.
Frank 3. Black. general agent in six
states for the Shredded Wheat company
Of Niagara Falls. and Ashley b. Black,
local agent, conferred with f.. l.. Halter
and Director OF Exhibits Wakefield Tues
day morning. The Shredded Wheat com
pany will install a complete miniature fac
tory in the exposition illustrating not only
the shrcdding process, but the baking. That
the exhibit will have a pronounced educa-
tional value to farmers can be CLEANED from
the following facts: Last summer when
wheat was selling at 50 and IS cents
the company was paying Sl.l0 for grain of
/ the kind It had TO have for manufacturing
purposes. The farmer will learn here as
I'm d hundred more cases what he has TO
do to get a much higher price for his
cereals than he now receives.
II is worth noting in this connection that
the shredding process used by the company
was the invention OF a young Nebraska
lawyer. Henry ID. Perk of Wahoo. Frank
B. Black made Omaha a big distributing
point for the products OF the company as
long ago as 1896 and has been storing
many carload lots here ever since.
