General Mills launched two revolutionary products. The first, Bisquick baking mix, was introduced in 1931 to immediate success. Within a year, 95 imitators came to market, but none could displace the original Bisquick. Homemakers quickly realized that the mix could be used for much more than just biscuits, and Biquick eventually developed the slogan “A World of Baking in a Box.” The second product, Kix cereal, was the result of the invention of an innovative new machine – the puffing gun. General Mills had entered the ready-to-eat cereal category a decade before with the introduction of Wheaties. But Kix was very different. The puffing gun, developed by General Mills engineer and chemist Thomas R. James, expanded cereal dough pellets into different shapes – bubbles in the case of Kix. Launched in 1937, Kix was the first puffed corn cereal on the market. Later the puffing gun would be used to produce Cheerios and Trix, among other cereals. While the food divisions were busy ntroducing innovative new products, the Chemical division was expanding rapidly, with substantial research on vitamins. The company began “hitting the vitamin trail,” in the words of then-CEO James Ford Bell, when the newly formed General Mills research laboratory discovered that the uncrushed embryo of a wheat kernel was a rich source of vitamins B1 and B2, protein, carbohydrates, iron and phosphorus – a virtual “storehouse of nutrients.” By studying the effects of vitamins on rats, General Mills was able to produce several different products, including wheat -germ oil, and vitamin A and vitamin D concentrates. The division also developed a process for creating vitamin D cheaply and efficiently, which allowed General Mills to become one of the largest producers of vitamin D in the world. Toward the end of the decade, in a move to increase efficiency, the board of directors adopted a plan “for the complete liquidation and dissolution of all subsidiary companies.” Effectively, General Mills became a centralized company in all aspects, operating all of its mills and associated companies across the nation from one location. Bell created two distinct divisions within the company. One was responsible for flour and feed, while the other took charge of grocery products. The large feed division sold farm animal products, including turkey feeds, cattle fattener and pig and hog meal. The grocery products division sold flour, Wheaties, Bisquick and Kix. While the new organization had central headquarters in Minneapolis, executives in the regional locations still had great responsibility for day -to-day operations. Centralization simply gave Minneapolis more overall responsibility for activities such as quality control, mill construction and order processing. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Minnesota, the Minnesota Valley Canning Company (later the Green Giant Company) was developing vegetable technology that would make it one of the premier vegetable producers in the world. In 1933, Minnesota Valley Canning began using gravity separators to separate tender young peas from the more mature; tender peas were less dense and therefore floated. The company then combined this process with a tenderometer, which tested the tenderness of a pea, allowing the company to separate peas into 10 distinct grades. One year later, a company researcher created the “heat unit theory,” which improved planting and harvesting techniques. Effectively, it allowed the company to harvest day or night and to program the vegetables to arrive at canneries in an orderly manner. As a result, the slogan “picked at the fleeting moment of perfect flavor” was created.

The Sister Chapter Initiative is a program that was started here at the University of Michigan by myself and Nikhil Patel. It began by Nikhil and I helping the first international chapter in Bogota, Colombia get started. From there, we made a guide on how to start international chapters which was sent out to the other AIChE Chapters, and the program has been growing ever since. Currently, there are 6 Sister Chapters with 5 more coming soon. Tell me about U of M's Sister Chapter. U of M has 2 sister chapters, yes we are that good. One is in Bogota, Colombia at La universidad de Los Andes and the other is in Brazil at La Universidad Estadual de Maringa. What are you hobbies/ favorite sport?

JS: There had been no advertising on radio before that, and I can remember--I was actually singing a jingle to myself in the car coming downCharles from home this morning. I think it was the first radio commercial that I can remember, thoughSociety maybe not the first one I've heard. We had one of these Philco radio sets that was called the cathedral type, it looks like a stained-glass window or a gothic arch.with The jingle was, "Won't you try Wheaties, the best breakfast food in the land.

    2005 Minnesota Historical Society Annual Report From its museums to its historic sites, its library to its extensive collections and its award-winning web site, the Minnesota Historical Society invites exploration. Set aside some time this year to visit the Society and discover some of Minnesota history’s amazing treasures at the History Center in St. Paul, Mill City Museum in Minneapolis or at any of our 24 historic sites across the state. Your story can be found here. David Koch, President, Minnesota Historical Society Over the past year, the Society has been spreading the word that History Matters! We know that our museums and historic sites contribute to the quality of life in Minnesota and that they attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to Minnesota each year. We know that the programs we offer to our schoolchildren prepare them for citizenship by helping them see themselves in the larger picture of the state’s story. With the help of our members and friends, we have conveyed the significance of our work to the state’s leaders. The results of our combined efforts are measurable. In April of this year, the Minnesota Legislature passed a capital budget, or bonding bill subsequently signed by the Governor, which included $6 million for Society projects. Along with funding to maintain our historic sites, the bill included an amount enabling us to address the current restoration needs of Historic Fort Snelling and to prepare this most important historic site to play an expanded role in the Society’s programs. On June 30, 2005, the Legislature provided for the Society’s annual operating needs with increased funding to help support historic sites that were relying heavily on the generosity of private donors.
