                HONORING THE CEREALINE MANUFACTURING CO.

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 31, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Cerealine 
Manufacturing Co., the newest addition to the roster of the Indiana 
Historical Bureau's state historical marker series.
  The Cerealine Manufacturing Company, founded in 1880, was an early 
producer of corn flakes and grew to prominence as the railroads opened 
national markets to Midwest producers. Founded in Columbus, Indiana, 
the Cerealine Manufacturing Co. produced up to 12,000 bushels of 
product daily, creating a corn flake that was the precursor to the 
famous cold breakfast cereal. The state historical marker honoring the 
company will be placed at the site of the original mill building, 
currently restored and serving as offices for Cummins, Inc.
  I want to thank the Indiana Historical Bureau for its continued 
leadership in recognizing and commemorating significant individuals, 
organizations, places, and events in Indiana history. These roadside 
markers are familiar to all Hoosiers and visitors who pass through the 
State. With over 500 state historical markers in place, the Indiana 
Historical Bureau impresses on Hoosiers across the State the importance 
of our history and the promise of our future.
  I ask the 6th Congressional District to join me in thanking the 
Indiana Historical Bureau for recognizing and publicly marking our 
shared history and the heritage of the Cerealine Manufacturing Company 
in Columbus, Indiana.
