Notes |
- 1865 - Sylvester S. Cargill, becomes independent of his brother's company “W.W. Cargill and Brother”, eventually establishing the Victoria Elevator Company in Minneapolis.
http://www.cargill.com/about/history/history_1865.htm
Sylvester Cargill, who has been running the Cargills' elevator at Winnebago, now became their manager for what seems to have been a separate operation from its early days. A cash book that begind on August 1, 1875 (the earliest extant financial record of any of the Cargill involvements), shows the operation as a going concern, headed by Sylvester but under the overall umbrella of “W.W.Cargill.” This cash book chronicles innumerable trades in wheat, barley, corn, hides, salt, wool and pork. Sylvester, semiautonomous at this point, later became wholly independent of the other Cargill brothers, forming his own firm, the Victoria Elevator Company, which expanded into Minnesota and the Eastern Dakotas. Victoria grew to substantial size and from its Minneapolis headquarters became a well-known middle-level grain firm.
