The Breese Grain Company was issued a charter on January 12, 1921.  One of the first steps taken by the company was to contract for the construction of a reinforced concrete elevator with a capacity of 30,000 bushels capacity. 

More information on this business as well as other business and more can be found in the 2006 Breese Sesquicentennial Pictorial History book which is available from the Breese Historical Society.
