Pr [Adv] SUCCESS FLOUR (Full Spring Wheat Patent) Gu aranteed to make twenty percent more Bread than Winter Wheat Flour. Quality and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded. On sale at all Groceries. PROGRESS WHOLESALE GROCERY CO. [Rochester Sentinel, Thursday, April 3, 1913] MAURICE SHELTON TO ENTER NEW BUSINESS Maurice Shelton, who has long been identified with the business interests of Rochester, severed his connections with the Progress Wholesale Grocery Company, Monday, and with Edward Werner, a native of Amsterdam, Holland, has formed a company for the purpose of importing and exporting crude rubber, leaf tobacco, - - - - beans, spices and copra. Their American office will be located in Cleveland, Ohio, and Mr. Shelton will be in charge. For 16 years Mr. Shelton has been engaged in the wholesale grocery business in this city, entering the trade in 1899 with his father, J. R. Shelton, and “Cap” Collins. The firm was then known as Shelton and Collins. One year later Mr. Collins sold his interest to the father and son. A year later, Charles Brackett purchased an interest in the concern when it became known as Shelton and Brackett. In 1901, L. M. Brackett purchased an interest and the concern became known as L. M. Brackett and Co. In 1910 a corporation was formed and named Progress Wholesale Grocery Co. Mr. Shelton, since the organization, has held the office of the president. The new concern with which Mr. Shelton is identified will be known as the Tropical Products Co, Importers and Exporters. Because of his long connection with the local concern, Mr. Shelton is amply fitted to branch out and engage in tropical trade which since the war, has received a big boost in this country. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, February 16, 1915] PROGRESS COMPANY WILL MAKE LOTS OF VINEGAR The Progress Wholesale Grocery Company has rented a number of the large vats at the pickle plant in Rochester in which they will store cider for the purpose of making vinegar. Within the last week, the local firm has purchased hundreds of barrels of cicer and is on the market for any amount which the farmers in the county have for sale. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, September 18, 1915] CHAS. BRACKETT OUT OF PROGRESS CONCERN After a connection of 16 years with the Progress Wholesale Grocery Co., Charles Brackett, Wednesday, sold his interest to M. C. Shelton of this city, who had been interested in the local concern until one year ago when he retired. Mr. Brackett resigned as treasurer and manager and his place was taken by Mr. Shelton. Mr. Brackett has no definite plans for the future. [Rochester Sentinel, Wednesday, February 2, 1916] PROGRESS GROCERY WINS VICTORY IN THE FEDERAL COURT The Progress Wholesale Grocery Company won a complete victory on its motion to dismiss the bill of cmplaint in the case of the American Sugar Refining Company, in the Federal Court at Indianapolis on yesterday Judge A. B. Anderson holding that the complaint did not state a cause of action for the appointment of a Receiver, and for want of equity. The court, however, on the request of the refining company, to file an amended bill of complaint within thirty days, granted the request but announced that a good bill of complaint could not be made on the facts as set forth in the complaint under consideration. It will be remembered that the refining company brought suit against the local company and L. M. Brackett and Maurice Shelton, to have a Receiver appointed for the Progress Wholesale Grocery Company; the purpose of the action being to procure the appointment of a Receiver to take over the property of the Progress company, sold under an order of foreclosure by the Fulton circuit court. The claim of the refining company grew up out of a claim under a contract, by which sugar was sold by that company to the local company for future delivery, under the representation
Pr that there was a shortage of sugar in Cuba, and that they would have to contract for their sugar at that time or would not be able to get any. The price of sugar in the market, as well as the cost of all other lines of groceries, fell very rapidly, and resulted in such loss as that wholesale grocery companies all over the country lost heavily, and many of them forced into practical bankruptcy. The Progress Wholesale Grocery Company, however, paid all of its creditors from whom it received and accepted any goods, and complaint in this case was paid for all goods received and accepted by the Progress company, as that the suit passed upon, on yesterday, by the Federal court, was based wholly upon a claim for damages for refusing to accept the sugar. The amount involved in the case was something like $9,000.00. G. W. Holman and H. G. Miller of this city, and F. J. Mattice, of Indianapolis, represented the Progress Wholesale Grocery Company. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, February 18, 1922] PROGRESS CO. SUGAR CASE IS PUT AT REST The time for the American Sugar Refining Company to file an appeal in their case against the Progress Wholesale Grocery Company, L. M. Brackett and Maurice C. Shelton having elapsed without further action on the part of the Refinery, the case has therefore been fully dispensed of, the cause dismissed and the matter fully put at rest. This was announced Friday by Attorney George W. Holman. It will be remembered that the local men won their case before Judge Anderson in FederalCourt at Indianapolis some time ago and the court gave the American Company a certain number of days to file the appeal for another trial. This time expired Friday, it is understood. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, March 11, 1922] CHAMPAIGN MAN PLANS TO MANUFACTURE POP W. F. Newman, of Champaign, Ill., has purchased of the Progress Wholesale Grocery Company the bottling works used in the manufacture of pop and other soft drinks, according to announcement made Tuesday. Mr. Newman will operate the plant here in Rochester, according to his present plans, but has not yet selected a location for his factory, which he expects to get under headway at an early date. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, February 8, 1921] Mrs. Bert KRATHWOHL, former Rochester resident, was found dead in bed at her home in Peru Saturday morning. Circumstances surrounding the death have not been received here. Mrs. Krathwohl was the wife of a former traveling salesman for the now extinct Progress Wholesale Grocery company of this city.

[Rochester Sentinel, Wednesday, October 23, 1912] PROM NIGHT [Rochester, Indiana] In the 1930’s young people started the tradition of staying out all night, driving to Indianapolis, Chicago and Fort Wayne for a coke. By the 1950’s Tri Kappa and other clubs began to sponsor after-prom parties to keep the teenagers off the roads.
