Cerealine Flakes Boxed During 1880s
Jackson Street ( near rail station)
Columbus, Indiana

Comment: Cerealine Flakes were not placed in instant bags, like today. They were in cardboard boxes and the advertisement suggests a one minute cooking time in various varieties. The Cerealine building still survives today as the Cummins Cafeteria, but a lot of history is within it's wall. History spans the first corn flakes, through Clessie Cummins movement to the building to start the first Cummins Engine Company actual location.

Cerealine Advertisement Harper's Magazine Year 1887 & 1890
607 Jackson Street
Columbus, Indiana

This is not the same ad I previously posted in this thread. Cerealine stated that a series of twelve pictures of Indian life were published for mailing. See bottom of ad for that information. Harper's started publication of magazines during the year 1850, and Cerealine ads were published in different arrangements and pictures in numerous copies. This is only one example of many. This ad is number 3 discovery of the series of twelve.

Harper's Ad Year 1890 (months were June to November)



PACKAGES of "Cerealine Flakes " at twenty cents each I may be used until there is not left in them one flake. Dishes of it may be made after the family is seated at the breakfast. If more is wanted it can be prepared at once. If too much is served, it can be added to flour in making bread. And so in all the hundreds of ways in which "Cerealine Flakes" may be prepared, there is constant economy in its use.

Lawsuit Patent Infringement Cerealine & Brewing Malt Liquors
Filed: Indiana Circuit Court January 2, 1897
Relationship: To Mr. Gent's patten filed August 15, 1882
Result: Denied

CEREALINE MANUF'G CO. v. BATES et aL
(Circuit Court, D. Indiana. January 2, 1897.)
No. 9,015.
L PATENTS-DISCLAIMER-BROADENING CLAIM.
An element of a combination claim cannot be eliminated by a disclaimer,
so as to broaden the claim, or make it rest on other elements than those on
'which it was predicated when issued.
2. SAME-IMPROVEMET IN BREWING,
The Gent patent, No. 262,761, for an improvement in the art of brewing
malt liquors, held not infringed.
This was a suit bj' the Cerealine Manufacturing Company against
Hervey Bates and Hervey Bates, Jr., for alleged infringement of a
patent.
Rowland Cox and Miller, Winter & Elan, for complainant.
Duncan & Smith, Charles Martindale, and Robt. H. Parkinson, for
defendants.
______________

BAKER, District Judge. This is a suit for the alleged infringe-
ment of letters patent No. 262,761, dated August 15, 1882, and grant-
ed to Joseph F. Gent, assignor, for an improvement in the art of
brewing malt liquors. The complaint is in the usual form, and the
answer set!'! up noninvention and noninfringement. The claim of
the patent is as follows:
"In the art of brewing malt liquors from barley, malt, and corn, the process
of mashing', which consists in steeping a percentage, as set forth, of hulless corn
flakes simultaneously with malt and hops, whereby the preliminary cooking of
the corn product is eliminated from the mashing process, and the subsequent
fermentation improved."
By a disclaimer filed November 16, 1894, pending the suit, the
claim of the patent was changed to read as, follows:
"In the art of brewing malt liquors from barley, malt, and corn, the process
of mashing, which consists in steeping a percentage, as set forth, of hulless corn
flakes simultaneously with malt, whereby the preliminary cooking of the corn
product is eliminated from the mashing process, and the subsequent fermentation
improved."
The claim, as it stood at the time of the alleged infringement, as
well as atthe time the suit was brought, was for "the steeping of a
percentage of hulless corn flakes simultaneously with malt and
hops." Assuming the quick malt of the defendants to be identical
in character and composition with the corn flakes of the complainant,
there is ll() evidence in the record showing that the defendants, or
anyone,with their knowledge or consent, ever steeped quick malt
simultaneously with malt and hops in the brewing process. Noth-
ing more can be claimed to have been done or authorized by them
than that they sold "quick malt" t,o be steeped with malt, without
the use of hops, in the process of brewing; hence no infringement
is shown unless the disclaimer has broadened the complainant's
claim, and has a retroactive effect, in giving a right to recover on
grounds on which no recovery could have been had as the claim
was originally drawn and allowed by the patent office. This is not
the office of a disclaimer. A patent cannot be broadened by a dis-
claimer, nor !llade to rest upon other elements than those on which
it was predicated when allowed and issued. There were two ele-
ments, namely, "malt and hops," with which the corn flakes were re-
quired to be simultaneously steeped, as specified in the patent when
it was granted. The elimination of one element, namely, "hops,"
clearly broadens the claim. If one element may be disclaimed out
of a combination patent, there would be no limit to the changes
which might be effected; and, if a retroactive operation were to be
given to such a disclaimer, the door would be open to great fraud
and oppression.
For these reasons, the bill will be dismissed for want of equity, at
the cost of the complainant.

Brief Relationship of Cerealine Building & Cummins Engine Company Years 1919 to 1925

Cummins Engine Company was established on February 3, 1919. The first facility was 1400 Square feet at the former Cerealine Mill. Between 1919 and 1925 the company had fewer than 20 employees.

The First Cummins Engine Developed At Cerealine Building




The first joint venture Cummins and William G. Irwin in 1919. The first Cummins engine with a single cylinder compression ignition using compression ignition to ignite the fuel. Designed in the Netherlands by Robert M. Hvid.

Cummins made model engines with a power of 1.5, 3, 6, and 8 HP, which was controlled by the governor at 500 to 600 RPM.

A 133 Year Old Business Letter Travels From Columbus To Charleston South Carolina Twice Since 1877
Envelop & Business Letter Below Writing

The Mill The White J. V. Storey Home & Mill



A Columbus Indiana business letter was sent October 27, 1877 to the Germania Savings Bank of Charleston South Carolina. The letter was sent from the Hawpatch Hominy Mills owned by three business men named T. T. Gaff, J.H. Rush & R. Thomas to the South Carolina bank.

The discovered letter of correspondence only revealed the top portion of the information to the bank. The letter with envelop was returned somehow to a Columbus person. It was placed on EBAY for sale during July 2010. Coordination between George Kelly of Columbus and Bob Records of South Carolina purchased the two pieces of mill history recently. George purchased it and sent it back to buyer Bob in South Carolina.

The two pieces of history made a route over a span of 133 years ending up twice in Columbus, and twice in South Carolina. George Kelly and Bob Records of the Columbus History Boards and the pictures of the correspondence of 1877 are to be posted for all to see and enjoy. The website Columbus History Boards were established by David Sechrest of Columbus.

Briefly, the Hawpatch and Lowell Mills were established on the southwest corner of 5th and Franklin Street in Columbus Indiana. The original site of the buildings and mill was started by Mr. John V. Storey during 1867. Mr. Storey sold his mill and grain businesses to Gaff, Rush & Thomas at some point. Mr. Storey built and lived in the Present Columbus Reception Center for many years. It was a wonderful home to later be used for various things.

According to the 1886 Sanborn Map the Hawpatch Mill was closed, and then in 1893 the mill burned down. Later on the same location the present old City Hall was built during 1895. The Gaff, Rush, Thomas (L. & J. R Gent also) were involved in the early mills on 5th and Franklin. They moved their operations to a new building near Jackson Street, and that started the famous Cerealine Mill.

It has been interesting to follow the letter of correspondence during 1877 from the Columbus mill business to the Charleston South Carolina Germania Savings Bank.

Bank Overview: The Germania Savings Bank opened October 1, 1874 for general business. The total assets were $70, 081. During year 1918 the names of the Germania Savings and Germania National Banks were changed to the Atlantic Savings and Atlantic National Banks.

It is not known why the Columbus mill had a business relationship with a bank in Charleston South Carolina. We can speculate that corn products were shipped to many places for food stuffs and mashed corn for production of beer products. Also, the south loved hominy grits and regular grits and are still served to this day.

Also, Charleston was one of the main shipping ports along the Atlantic Ocean and is very active today.

During those older days and years South Carolina grew mostly tobacco, cotton, beans and may not have grown as much corn products; so shipping and trading took place. It is known that Gaff, Rush, Thomas Mill Company, and Cerealine Company products were sold nationally and internationally by history research. Mr. Gent was inclusive in the Cerealine Company ownership.

We hope you enjoyed this little piece of Columbus history like we did.

Cerealine Cakes On Menus In Germany, Canada, America & Military Locations During Years 1900 & 1901



Brief Overview: Cerealine was a very popular breakfast cake, and also the flakes (like corn flakes). The New York Public Library has a collection of menus. The collection was obtained by Miss Frank E. Buttoph starting in the year 1900 until her death in 1924. She gave all the menus to the New York Public Library.

Miss Frank E. Buttolph stamped nearly every menu she collected for the New York Public Library, twenty-three years worth, amounting to roughly 25,000 menus under her tenure alone.

Below are 3 menus among around 17 that shows Cerealine Cakes being served for breakfast. These are being shown here for educational purposes and not for any profit. Enjoy the three menus:






Requirement: The above menus are for viewing and educational purposes only. They may not be used for commercial and profit type usage. This history website is a non-profit and educational and informational boards. Reproduction for other use should be directed to the New York Public Library. The history aspect of this post is that Cerealine was made in Columbus Indiana and sold to vendors in America and other countries.

Cerealine Flakes Boxed During 1880s & 1890s
Jackson Street ( near rail station)
Columbus, Indiana

New Information Found: Apparently Mr. Joseph Gent had visited London England and had an address during 1881. That visit was one year after the new Cerealine opened in 1880 at Jackson Street. In the 1884 Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry Book it listed the following items:

- "12186 J. F. Gent, London. Improvements in the art of manufacturing cerealine, a product obtained from Indian corn. Complete specification. September 9, 1881."

-Monthly Patent List 1884 in the Journal was this: "12186 J. F Gent Manufacturing Cerealine a product obtained from Indian Corn."

-The present Cummins Engine Company Cerealine building was built in 1880 and Cerealine closed it in 1892 and moved to Indianapolis Indiana.

-It is interesting that they published references saying "Indian Corn."

Comment: Cerealine Flakes were not placed in instant bags, like today. They were in cardboard boxes and the advertisement suggests a one minute cooking time in various varieties. The Cerealine building still survives today as the Cummins Cafeteria, but a lot of history is within it's wall. History spans the first corn flakes, through Clessie Cummins movement to the building to start the first Cummins Engine Company actual location.

My friend Jon Meyers at the Columbus Bar (Powerhouse Brewing Co.) is considering a Cerealine inspired beer for his brewpub! Has anyone ever ran across any beer brewing recipes? Most of the recipes we've found have involved cooking at home. They used to send railroad cars full of Cerealine Flakes to be used in brewing operations. I wonder if there is any similar white corn (Hominy) based product similar to Cerealine still being made. Are there still any patents or copyrights on the name?

[Jason Hatton]

RER posted this back in 2007 that refers to Cerealine flakes as malt flakes. I don't know much (anything) about beer brewing, but I was able to find some mixture "recipes" using malt flakes on Google.

[David Sechrest]

I thought some here might find this article somewhat humorous in this day and age. Since Kellogg was mentioned earlier, I submit the following for your consideration...

Years ago, I purchased a book, The Whole Pop Catalog, The Berkeley Pop Culture Project (© 1991 by Jack Mingo and John Javna).
In the book was a chapter about cereal and its beginnings.

"Believe it or not, modern ready-to-eat cereal was invented to reduce the sex drive. It began at the Western Health Reform Institute at Battle Creek Michigan. Founded in 1866 by Seventh Day Adventist Sister Ellen Harmon White, the Institute was dedicated to the idea that "purity of mind and spirit" could be attained by eating the right foods—vegetables, fruits and bread from Graham flour. The Institute survived without a doctor on staff for ten years. In 1876, White hired a med-school graduate, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, who hired his brother William as chief clerk."

"Dr. Kellogg believed that good health depended not only on good food and exercise, but also on complete sexual abstinence. He was a true believer, reportedly writing Plain Facts For Old And Young, and anti-sex tract, on his honeymoon. His marriage was never consummated. He believed that certain foods would "cure" sexual desires. First he used zwieback until a patient broke her dentures on it and demanded $10 compensation. He began looking for a softer alternative."

"The answer came in a dream in 1885 which showed him how to flake cereal. His attempts at wheat flakes flopped, but in 1902 he came up with a crowd pleaser: corn flakes flavored with barley malt. Realizing the commercial possibilities, the brothers set up a separate corporation and and began selling cereal. In their first year they sold 100,000 pounds. But the success wasn't easy. Sister White was furious that Dr. Kellogg had desecrated the divine with commercialism, and competitors jumped on the bandwagon."

"Worst of all, William Kellogg, pushing to widen the product's appeal, added sugar to the flakes, which the horrified Dr. Kellogg believed reversed the cereal's sexual suppressing effects. Brother sued brother in a series of court battles. William took control of the company (although his brother was still a major stockholder) and it grew into the mammoth Kellogg Company."

"In 1895, Charles W. Post, a patient at the sanitarium, began hanging around the kitchens when the Kelloggs were perfecting whole-grain "coffee" (the real thing also excited sexual urges). After a few months of convalescence, Post's funds ran out. He appealed to Dr. Kellogg to let him pay his bill my marketing the coffee. The doctor said no. In response, Post began marketing his own version of grain coffee under the name Postum Cereal Food Coffee. Post claimed Postum "makes blood red" and cured previously unknown ills like "coffee neuralgia, coffee heart, and coffee-induced blindness." He sold $250,000 worth of the stuff the first year and 3 times that 3 years later (decades later, it was still being touted as the answer to "coffee nerves"). Post came up with a cereal which he called Grape Nuts, even though it contained only baked wheat. His ads said it would cure appendicitis, malaria and tuberculosis, feed the brain, and even tighten loose teeth. By 1901, he was netting a million dollars a year."

What a cool story. I wonder what else we take for granted today that began as a "cure" for something?

State to Mark Site of Former Corn Flake Maker (Cerealine)




COLUMBUS, Ind. - A public dedication ceremony for an Indiana state historical marker, commemorating Cerealine Manufacturing Co., an early producer (circa 1880) of corn flakes, is scheduled for Sunday, August 4, 2013. The marker will be dedicated at 2:00 P.M. (EDT) near 600 Jackson Street, Columbus, Indiana 47203.

The text follows for the state marker entitled "Cerealine Manufacturing Co.":

In late 1800s, railroads and new technology opened national markets to Midwest producers, including Indiana, a leader in corn products. Joseph Gent patented operations and devices to mass-produce flaked corn. Gaff, Gent, & Thomas Co. began making Cerealine Flakes here circa 1880. A precursor to cold breakfast cereal, it was also used as a malt alternative by brewers. Company moved to Indianapolis, 1892, to take advantage of lower freight cost. The mill paid high prices to Indiana farmers for white corn and by 1898 processed 12,000 bushels daily. A wave of mergers swept U.S. industry at the turn of the twentieth century; Cerealine joined nine Midwestern mills in 1902 to form American Hominy Co., which continued business into 1920s.

The public is invited to attend the dedication ceremony for this Indiana state historical marker which will be located not far from one of the Cerealine Company's original mill buildings, now restored and serving as offices for Cummins, Inc. The program is being hosted by the Joseph Hart Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. On-street parking is available; a reception will be held at the Bartholomew County Historical Society, 524 3rd Street, Columbus.

State historical markers commemorate significant individuals, organizations, places, and events in Indiana history. These markers help communities throughout the state promote, preserve, and present their history for the education and enjoyment of residents and tourists of all ages. For more than 95 years the Indiana Historical Bureau, an agency of the State of Indiana, has been marking Indiana history. Since 1946, the marker format has been the large roadside marker, which has the familiar dark blue background with gold lettering and the outline of the state of Indiana at the top. There are approximately 500 of these markers across the state.

For more information about this marker, the Indiana Historical Marker Program, and other resources about Indiana, visit the Indiana Historical Bureau’s website at www.IN.gov/history or call 317-232-6276

WIBC Radio Talks About Cerealine Dedication Today (8/4/13)

Indiana will commemorate its role this weekend in the creation of modern breakfast cereals.


Cerealine was one of the first processed breakfast cereals -- bits of corn you could quickly heat and eat, like Malt-O-Meal today. The Columbus milling company Gaff, Gent and Thomas came up with Cerealine in the 1880s, and patented increasingly advanced milling machines to mass-produce it.

Cerealine moved production to Indy in 1892, four years before John and W.K. Kellogg patented a similar product that would soon overtake it for good: Corn Flakes. Aimee Formo with the Indiana Historical Bureau says the combination of Kellogg's marketing muscle and brand loyalty, and a public preference for cold cereals that stayed crisp, pushed Corn Flakes and similar products like Post Toasties ahead of Cerealine.

Brewers also used Cerealine to make beer. The combination of Prohibition and the competition from cold breakfast cereals spelled the end for Cerealine in the 1920s, but the original red-brick Cerealine building was used by other millers, and today is part of the Cummins Engine complex.

A state marker explaining the mill's place in history will be dedicated Sunday afternoon. The marker will be dedicated at 2:00 P.M. (EDT) near 600 Jackson Street, Columbus, Indiana.

Notice:  To hear the WIBC Radio segment go to website below, plus the reading I just posted above:

MY PERSONAL COMMENT: I am very excited and satisfied that Cerealine will be receiving the recognition of its former accomplishments related to the "first Corn Flakes". I started researching and writing about Cerealine on these boards during the year 2007 and not a lot was known about the old company it seemed. I posted the found information and pictures in the 1800s thread, until David recognized the information I was posting and he started the first comment in this Cerealine thread. I feel that with David and my comments we had a little influence in the dedication sign today at Jackson Street. Someone, started research and probably read our thread history herein and carried it forward to a higher recognition level. Anyway, I a very happy for Columbus and the historical aspect of today's events.

A Cerealine Paperweight Is For Sale On EBAY Dated 1885 & 1886

Comment: This is a super unique antique piece of Columbus History that could be bought by the Columbus Historical Society for preservation. One picture follows but if you go to the EBAY web page I have inserted; you may be able to see many angles of it.




Go Here To View More Etc:

  www.ebay.com/itm/19th-CENTURY-ADVERTISING-PAPERWEIGHT-CALEB-KIMBER-GRAIN-MERCHANT-PHILADELPHIA-/200948784825?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec97b1eb9

Seller Information: 

This is a great antique piece of American advertising! I believe this was a paperweight given away to advertise the merchant's business. The shape is that of a shipping crate on a stand. On the shipping crate sit three sacks labeled "Malt", "Cerealine", and "Barley". The shipping crate reads "K 190 Choice Hops". One side clearly says "1886" the other side is either "1885" or
"1886". (As stated there is wear from age so some of the letters and numbers are indistinct.) Two sides of the stand that the shipping crate rests on read "Compliments of CALEB B KIMBER Philad'a". One end reads "BARLEY" the other reads "HOPS". The bottom is open to a hollow center (see photo) - there may have been something to make it heavier and there may have been a bottom at one point. I cannot find another like this to compare it to. The measurements are just over 5&3/4" long by just about 3&1/2" wide by just under 3" tall. This is a wonderful piece of Americana and will make a great addition to someone's collection. Please send me any questions or concerns you may have before bidding as I want you to be happy with what you receive.


My Comment: If I were much younger I would have bid for this piece of Columbus History. I don't know how long this EBAY post and pictures will last so if interesting in seeing this paperweight (not common or readily available); now is the time.
Seller information above is all sellers wording and it is quoted herein. Also, I am not pushing sales for EBAY, just trying to show unique things and information of a Columbus business long gone; but instrumental in development of cereals during the 1800s.

A Birdseye View Land Map Confirms More 1886 History of Business Community



Note:  Today, on EBAY I discovered  a 1886 map showing a Birds Eye View of Columbus.  It is for sale with a price listed and includes 11 drawing pictures of businesses, school and river outlays.  This is one of the most interesting maps I have viewed since joining these boards 7 years ago. 

Here is what the map shows in building and business pictures: (a) Dunlap & Coats Building (b) Evening Republican Building 1872 (c) Cerealine (Mill A) 7th & Jackson St., (d) Cerealine (Mill B) 5th & Franklin St. (e) Central School 1886l, (f) Reeves Company, and (g) Large Birdseye View Columbus.  Various detailed footnotes I couldn't read but informative.

Go Here (map & 11 pictures): DOUBLE CLICK PICTURES TO ENLARGE  www.ebay.com/itm/1886-Birds-Eye-View-Map-of-Columbus-Indiana-31-x-26-/251333072365 

Keep in mind this EBAY sale is limited in 5 days and will be gone.  I am not promoting or supporting EBAY sales, just giving a heads-up of interesting Columbus history. 

Further Comments:  The Cerealine two Grist Mills were owned and operated by the same 3 gentlemen during the 1880s.  They being Gaff, Gent  and Thomas.  I posted approximately 3 pages of brief history since September 2007 about Cerealine.  Read a refreshment summary about the two mills go to the next website that follows (once at page scroll down a couple posts, for two interesting mergings of this post and those.  Go here:  columbusin.proboards.com/thread/57/cerealine 

Note: John Rush was part owner of Mill B with Gaff and Thomas during 1877. Apparently, Gent took Rush's place in business before it was renamed to Cerealine Mill B.

Comment: For whatever reason there have been many pictures and postings deleted from "Imageshack" since the new board was updated.
