A. R. Gangloff & Bro., proprietors of “Grangers’ Elevator and Warehouse,” are dealers in grain, grass seed, agricultural implements, salt, coal, etc., and successors to T. P. Cook & Bro. The present firm is composed of Anthony R. and Albert Augustine Gangloff, sons of Jacob and Ellen (McDonald) Gangloff, natives of Germany and Ireland, who engaged in the business February 1, 1886. Their plant is located in Milltown, on the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific Railroad, near the roller mills. They have probably handled 40,000 bushels of timothy seed this year, and buy all grain and seeds brought to this market. They are also local dealers in coal and salt, and are the exclusive shippers of the former to Edina. They employ four men the year round. A. R. Gangloff, the senior partner, was born in Perry County, Ohio, April 17, 1851, and came to Missouri in 1856, with his parents. He was raised a farmer, and has been engaged in that occupation ever since. He has also spent twelve years in the West, being interested in mining and stock-raising. In 1886 he returned to this county, and embarked in his present grain and seed business. He is a Republican, and a member of the Catholic Church. Albert Augustine Gangloff was born in Somerset, Perry Co., Ohio, September 9, 1853. He accompanied his parents to Knox County in 1857, was reared a farmer, and has been one ever since, and is also engaged in the seed and grain business above mentioned. He is a Democrat, and a member of the Catholic Church. Both himself and brother are recognized as among the prominent and enterprising business men of Edina.
