Excerpts from
Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc., Observes 100th Anniversary
The Buffalo Times, June 26, 1924
A celebration marking the 100th anniversary of the connection of the Kellogg family with the linseed oil business was begun today by the officials and personnel of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc. A sales convention which has brought representatives from the Argentine and other distant points is being held in conjunction with the observance.
The history and grown of the company was traced today by Howard Kellogg, president, in opening the first business session of the sales conference. Supplina Kellogg, grandfather of Spencer Kellogg, Sr., was the first member of the Kellogg family to enter the linseed oil business. He established a mill just 100 years ago in West Galway, near Amsterdam, N.Y.
The mill later was moved to Amsterdam by Lauren Kellogg, father of Spencer Kellogg, Sr. It was 30 years ago that Spencer Kellogg, Sr. founded the present great firm in Ganson Street, near the Michigan Avenue bridge. Through his energy and enterprise Buffalo became the largest linseed milling center in the United States. It is at present second only to New York.
Development Continues
The fourth generation of Kellogg are continuing to develop the industry. Even though Spencer Kellogg, Sr., has passed away, the firm he founded has steadily progressed until today it is recognized as one of the foremost in the linseed business.
Associated with Howard Kellogg are his brothers, Spencer Jr. and Donald, both of whom are vice-presidents
