The Rise of the Rol Screen Company in Des Moines
The narrative traces the creation of the Rol screen Co in Des Moines 1925 as engineers refine square guides to hold screens and later adopt oval guides to stop wind from dislodging the roll window screens. After many models and tests they secure a building at 1931 Des Moines Street, hire staff, and begin sales efforts as the new industry forms.
