Biographical / historical:

The Cereal Machine Company was established in 1892. It also known as The Shredded Wheat Company, a name change that became permanent after 1908. As additional plants were built between 1895 and 1925, most had a separate name, including The Natural Food Company (Niagara Falls), The Canadian Shredded Wheat Company (Niagara Falls), and The Pacific Shredded Wheat Company (Oakland, CA), although all produced the same cereal. Eventually, The Shredded Wheat Company was bought out by The National Biscuit Company, now Nabisco Brands, Inc.
