W. K. Kellogg
William Kellogg was born in Battle Creek, Michigan. After working as a broom salesman, he worked with his brother, Dr. John H. Kellogg, during the 1890s to develop new ways to prepare grain for breakfast cereals. After their first success with flaked wheat, they developed a cornflake, and in 1905 Will went on his own to form the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Co. It was soon renamed the W.K. Kellogg Co., and he achieved great financial success with his line of breakfast foods and revolutionized the words breakfast eating habits.
