A BIG INSTITUTION
The Galloway Co. is Shown to be a
Progressive and Helpful Bush
ness for Waterloo.

The Waterloo, Iowa, Courier has
just issued a industrial edition in
which is a fine writeup of the Gallo
grown from the small beginning to
it's present proportions, and how it
has helped to build Waterloo. This
article is reproduced below, for the
reason that Mr.. Galloway is associat-
ed with Robert Lyle in the enterprise
thai is to be started in Mitchell early
in the spring.
Mitchell people have me- the re-
quirements of the Robert Lytle COM
pany in the purchase of the lots of
the property the company bought,
and Mr.. Lytle has made the first pay
ment on the same. 1t is understood
that just as soon as spring opens and
stays open that work will be com
menced on the enterprise.
The following is the article from
the Waterloo paper:
The William Galloway company,
manufacturing as the principal line
manure spreaders, gasoline engines,
farm machinery specialties and cream
separators, has shown a faster and
greater growth than any other Wal
terloO concern. The establishment
was removed from Reinbeck to this
city less than eight years ago and to-
day takes rank second to none in his
line in the state or the central west.
The Galloway company at the time
of establishment here also had a har-
row cart manufacturing plant at
Nashua, and this has since been in
c%Orporated with the parent plant IN
this city.
In this city the establishment first
occupied the old Hubbard Creamery
building. The business grew at once
and from time to time enlarged quar-
ters were necessary. Last year more
expansion was necessary INC West
field was selected as the new home of
the manufacturing enterprise. Build-
ings have been erected on the new
site during the past year.
The New Plant at Westfield
The new plant at Westfeld in
acludes a new Office building for the
clerks and executive heads OF the
concern. The interior finish is Of
hard woods, while the buildings are
constructed of solid concrete two
stories in height. The every comfort
and convenience of employees has
been the purpose in fitting up and ar
ranging this building. For the bene-I
fit of employees the building will be
surrounded by wide verandas, flower
beds, terraces, and in the interior will
be rest n lunch rooms, while the
ventilation and light is we'll nigh
perfect. Opposite the office building
is the new building of the manufac-|
turing plant proper, with an increased
capacity of SO per cent Here will
be the new station on the Waterloo, |
Cedar Falls & Northern railway to
be known as Galloway. The side
track along the main shipping build
ing will be 500 feet long. All that
will be necessary will be to tie a tag
son the machines and push them out
on the loading deck.
Specialists at the Head
The remarkable growth of this
concern is due largely to the idea
carried out by Mr.. Galloway Of bring
ing together here in Waterloo for his
aid and advice in manufacturing and
marketing his product. the very best
specialists the country could produce.
Hence he has secured high-priced
men who could get the best results.
And to this policy is due the remark
able team work that has made the
sold in every state In the union. The
heads Of the departments have come
from the very best schools of train
ing in the country between New York
and Colorado. Mr.. Galloway is him
self a specialist. When ne first locat-
ed in Waterloo he was general agent
for Iowa for the Litchield company.
Advertiscs Waterloo
The Galloway company does more
to favorably advertise Waterloo than
any other three firms in the city. Its
business has done more than any 9TH
er concern to make the Waterloo
bank c%learances attract the attention
of tho whole country. and by com.
parison outstrip most cities Of even
double the sixe of Waterloo. The
Galloway business runs from one mil,
lion to one and one-quarter million:
OF dollars annually. The advertising
appropriation is 100000 for the
year.
