In 1855 C. K. Morrill & Co.—a partnership of C. K. Morrill and Amos S. Myrick—was manufacturing Stoddard's patent shingle mill. A surviving advertising broadside (see Publications tab) is one of the earliest such items from Wisconsin.

Information Sources

Information is taken from a Bartleby's Books listing for the broadside.
