William and Cathrine Trout. "To start a nice little business like the manufacture of rakes without a knowledge of it, or money to meet the cost, simply studying it out, and inventingamd ,aking cheap machinery to accomplish the work, which successfully met the needs of the trade, and helped carry the family though a severe crisis...was no small accomplishment." "Also an addition was built which doubled the capacity of the shop, and business was placed on ...a permanent footing" "Charles Jay and myself formed a new company Trout & Jay to carry on the business of harvest tools and other articles of similar manufacture" |
