Company, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. The company was capitalized at $25,000.00. The stockholders on above date were: C. E. Blodgett, John a Kestel, George J. Kestel, and J. M. Berg. The business during the first year under the new corporation increased 100%. On Feb. 1st, 1913, J. A. Kestel secured an option on Mr. C. E. Blodgett's stock and on March 1st, 1913, turned over this stock to 39 people in this city and rural districts with the guarantee of 6% on their investment and 5% on their purchases. It was at this time that the other brothers, Harry W. Kestel, Joseph J. Kestel, Math. J. Kestel and Peter J. Kestel, as also Math. P. Michaels, Joseph Seidl and Louis Rembs became stockholders of Kestel Bros. Co. (This was taken in part from a brochure named "History of Kestel Bros. Company".
