Niagara Falls and The Home of Shredded Wheat

 

Here you see a photo of the front and back cover of an old visitor guide for Niagara Falls. I found this on Mullins Books, that can be purchased. Thanks to Scott Young for having a piece of History. I am still in disbelief with the many trips to Niagara Falls, and the many times I simply walked by this building. My focus was waterfalls of course!

From the Western New York History

Quoted, “Henry Perky, founder of the Natural Food Company and inventor of the shredded wheat biscuit. Image source: “Out of the Cracker Barrel”.”
“Henry Drushel Perky was 58 years old when he came to Niagara Falls in 1901 to construct his Natural Food Company factory.” To learn more about this piece of history, click on the link provided above.
