Summary

"This book traces the story of Shawnee Milling Company from the time founder J. Lloyd Ford's father homesteaded northwest of Shawnee during the Oklahoma Territory land run days, through Ford's investing his life savings in a little, barn-like flour mill, his successes and heartbreaks, his son's and grandson's works when they each became president and how, together, they built it into an impressive complex that turns out hundreds of products, dominates the Shawnee, Oklahoma skyline and is an enduring, stable factor in the area's economy."--BOOK JACKET.
