HISTORY OF THE GARDEN CITY FEEDER CO.
This business was started in 1898 in a small blacksmith shop by A. C. Van Houweling and Jake H. Van Gorp, these men conceiving the idea of manufacturing an Automatic Straw Stacker. A small company was organized by A. C. Van Houweling, J. H. Van Gorp and P. H. Van Gorp with a combined capital of abont $3,000, for the manufacture of straw stackers for threshing machines. They struggled along for a couple of years and the crowning year of the stacker business was in 1900 when a production of 500 stackers was reached.
Mr. Van Ilonwebing, being an inventive genius, turned bis attention to the building of a self-feeder and hand cutter to replace the old method of hand feeding. In those days all thresbing machines being equipped with hand feeding tables requiring the service of two men to cut the bands and one man to feed the bundles into the separator, the invention of this feeder eliminated the services of three men and naturally soon found favor among the threshing machine owners and manufacturers of threshing machinery.
J. H. Van Gorp managed the factory production and P. H. Van Gorp looked after the sales and financial end of the business. Along in the fall of 1900 J. H. Van Gorp's health failed and after several months of sickness the company suffered a severe loss in his untimely death which occurred February 9th, 1901. This left the company affairs in the hands of A. C. Van Houweling and P. H. Van Gorp, the company being later incorporated and others interested in it, among them being Arie Van Honwebing, A. N. Kuyper, John G. Thom- masgen, L. Kruidenier and otbers.
The business began to grow wonderfully after the feeder was put on the market, and proved a great success. Other feeder companies have since come and gone, but the Garden City Freder Co. increased their business every year until their sales now reach over a million dollars annually and pay out in wages in Pella over $150,000 annually. The plant has been extended year after year and now covers in all, over a city block. Five thousand three hundred fecders were produced and sold in 1920.
The management of the business is still in the bands of A. C. Van Houweling and P. H. Van Gorp, Mr. Van Honweling devoting his time to the improvement of the product and Mr. Van Gorp, with his two sons, Dick and Harve, associated with him, manage the sales and finances.
The Company sell their feeders in all the grain growing states in the United States and Canada, operating twelve branch houses and employing at present 125 men at the plant and twenty-five salesmen.
The company is at present developing an automatic grain weigher which is practically completed and will be on the market next year. Orders for these weighers are already coming in before the sample machine is out as a result of the company reputation as successful builders of threshing machinery, and this weigher will no doubt add another valuable asset to the Garden City Line.

THE PELLA PRESS
Mention of the first newspaper published in Pella, by Rev. H. P. Scholte, has already been made in a former chapter.
In the year 1861 Rev. I. P. Oggel and Henry Hospers purchased the printing office and supplies of the defunct Pella Gazette. The first number of the Week- blad, edited by H. Hospers, appeared on the 28th of September, 1861. Pella's Maanblad, edited by Rev. P. J. Oggel, appeared for the first time in April, 1862. It was published monthly and was devoted to religious subjects.
In 1870 Mr. H. P. Neyenesch bought the Weekblad from H. Hospers, who left Pella at that time as the leader of the Sioux County Colony. For 31 years, or until his retirement because of advanced age in 1901, Mr. Neyenesch continued as the owner and editor of the Weekblad. In connection with this he also pub- lished the Pella Blade in the English language. The Blade had been in existence

as a radical republican paper for a few years, when Mr. Neyenesch bought it and from that time until 1901 it was the leading democratic paper in the English language.
From September, 1866, until his death, in 1868, Rev. Seholte published De Toekomst (The Future), a monthly periodical devoted to religion.
In March, 1867, Gerrit Van Ginkel, who had learned the printer's trade on the Weekblad, began the publication of a Republican newspaper in the Dutch language, De Pella Gazette. N. J. Gesman, Sr., was the editor of this paper, which was discontinued in 1869. Mr. Van Ginkel later removed to Des Moines, where he amassed a fortune. He carried on extensive business ventures in Des Moines, and in the cities of Springfield, Illinois, Dallas, Texas, and other points.
Many attempts were made from time to time to publish a Republican paper in Pella, but sooner or later these were compelled to discontinue. We will not attempt to give the history of these, but will end this brief mention of the Press of Pella with the following account of the development and status of the present newspapers of Pella: The Weekblad, the Chronicle and the Booster.
NEWSPAPER PARTICULARS
In 1892 G. A. Stout established a small paper which was called The Adver- tiser. This paper was given away every Saturday and was strictly of a local nature. It was conducted in connection with his job plant. It grew and was finally built up into a newspaper. Two years later he purchased the Pella Times from Granville Warren and consolidated the two papers, which he conducted for four years, when he sold the plant and good will to A. P. Heald. Mr. Heald published the paper for two years, when he disbanded the project, and one year later Mr. Stout started a job printing plant. Those who held the paper on the Advertiser plant wanted to dispose of it very badly. He decided that if it was possible to secure the Blade, which was being published at that time, that he would take both plants and consolidate them into one English speaking newspaper. The deal was consummated by Mr. H. Neyenesch disposing of the Blade and Weekblad to the new project. At that time the Jansma Brothers had started a new Dutch paper called the Nieuws Blad. When the deal was made with Mr. Neyeneseh, this firm purchased the subscription list of the Weekblad and changed the name of the paper to The Pella's Weekblad, taking over the old name. This was in 1903. In 1905 Rev. R. R. Sadler purchased the Chroniele. In 1909 Mr. Stout started in the job printing business again and in 1906 he started the Booster Press. Pella has three newspapers, the Booster Press, the Weekblad and Chronicle, two of which are printed in the English language, the other in the Holland language.
PELLA'S WEEKBLAD
Pella's Weekblad has a large and representative circulation among the resi- dents of Iowa and adjoining states who are of Dutch birth or aneestry, and is one of the leading papers in the Middle-West, printed in the Dutch language.
As already stated above, Mr. Neyeneseh edited this paper, with the exception of a short interval, from 1870 up to October 11, 1901. He then sold the subscrip- tion list to Jansma Brothers, who were the publishers of the Nieuwsblad, which they had established on the 10th of February, 1899. On the 11th of October, 1901, they combined the two papers, retaining the name of Pella's Weekblad, as that was the older and better known publication. On the 28th of February, 1902, John Jansma died and his brother James continued to publish the paper until 1904,

in which year II. F. Johnson purchased a half interest. On New Year's day, 1909, Mr. Johnson and H. L. Boland bought James Jansma's interest in the paper. Since then Mr. Johnson has disposed of his interest to Dan Dieleman, who, with Mr. Boland, are the present owners.

In Memoriam
Daughters of Pella, living in your beautiful modern homes, equipped with all the comforts and conveniences of this wonderful twentieth century, be happy in the blessings you enjoy. But do not fail sometimes to give a kindly, grateful thought to your mothers and grandmothers who never had these advantages, yet who bore their toilsome lives cheerfully that you might occupy a higher plane and enjoy greater opportunities than anything they asked for themselves.
Sons of Pella, as you drive your luxurious limousines, that will carry you from here to Des Moines, without bump or jar, in less time than your fathers could drive to the nearest village, take time occasionally to remember with grati- tude those hard-working, self-denying fathers, who were glad to drive an ox team, riding on a board laid across the wagon box, to make and save the money that would secure for you the education and advantages to fit you for better things.
We cannot pay the debt we owe; but let us resolve to do what we can to pre- serve the memories and perpetuate the deeds of those who sowed in toil and pri- vation, that we might reap in ease and comfort. We can never discharge the debt but we can acknowledge it by giving all honor to our pioneer forebears, than whom no better men and women ever went into the wilderness to hew out, for their children and their children's children, homes and schools, churches and civilization, such as no other age or country ever achieved.
And even in greater measure let us love the land and uphold the government, that in the day of poverty and persecution offered to the weary emigrants from beyond the sea a safe refuge, where they could worship the God of their fathers, according to the dictates of their conscience, unhindered and unafraid; and where, protected by the flag that guarantees to the humblest citizen full equality and justice before the law, they achieved a degree of prosperity that exceeded their fondest hopes, and that has few, if any, parallels in the history of humanity.
And when we have rendered our just meed of gratitude to our fathers and to the land in which they found a safe and bountiful abiding place, let us re- member with reverent hearts the God in whom the emigrants of 1847 put their trust. Surely His guiding hand is plainly manifest in all the history of those days of toil and struggle, and in equal measure in the better days that followed. No community in this great land has more reason to say with the Psalmist: "Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."
[ 325 ]
Retrospect
The humble cabins of our fathers and mothers are gone; built of logs and chinked with mud though they were, yet home was there with all its sacred and hallowed associations.
Gone, too, the well sweep and the "old oaken bucket;" the spinning wheel and the open hearth; gone the latch string that in the pioneer days always hung outside. Gone and forgotten the husking bee and the spelling match, the quilting bee and the backwoods fiddler. Gone the wild turkey and the timid deer; the prowling wolf whose weird howl at night caused the children to draw closer round the hearth fire.
Gone the ox team and the flail, the candlestick and the cider press. Gone the poke bonnet and the hoop skirts worn by our mothers, than whom no braver, kindlier, truer women ever trod the wilderness of America.
Gone the Uncle Joe's and the Aunt Betsey's, with their big, kind, neighborly hearts; often hidden under a gruff exterior, but always ready in the hour of need to help a neighbor; whether it was at a barn-raising or when sickness and death invaded the cabin home. Gone the yarbs that grandmother used to gather in the forest; to be administered without fear or favor, to every member of the family when spring fever and ague were abroad in the land.
Gone the camp meeting and the circuit rider; those rugged and sometimes uncultured men of God, but filled with the spirit of Pentecost, who did not count it hardship to ride the trackless forest for days, to sleep under the open heavens, to ford swollen streams, to face the danger of wild beasts and still wilder and more dangerous Indians, in order to bring the message of God's love to the scat- tered pioneers in their humble cabins, or to comfort the grief-stricken mother at the bedside of her dying child.
Pioneer days and pioneer fathers and mothers, we, your decendants, salute youl We who reap in ease and comfort where you sowed in poverty and toil, stand today with uncovered heads and reverent hearts, where you so bravely struggled and labored and sacrificed, that your children might enjoy a better and broader life.
"Beneath those rugged elms, that yew tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap; Each in his narrow cell forever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep." "Requiescat in pace."
