Vrooman Buys Kansas Elevators and Mills for 750000
Walter Vrooman purchases seven large elevators and two flouring mills in the Kansas wheat belt for 750000. Farmers join a cooperative association paying 100 each to receive market value for wheat sold and half the profits, with the other half going to cooperative stores. The plan aims to eliminate wheat speculators and middlemen and counter a rumored New York flour trust.
