Clark, Byron C. O'Connor, Jacob C. Snyder and Reuben

attention of the company to such an extent, that, on September 9, 1902, on
petition to the St. Joseph circuit court, the name was changed to the
Perkins Wind Mill Company. The company has sold its products all over
the United States. During the year preceding its incorporation, the concern
made and sold over one hundred wind mills; and the production and sales have
increased enormously since that date. Perkins' windmills are as well known
