In 1902, Thomas Cascaden bought the Davis Gasoline Engine Works Co. and renamed it the Waterloo Motor Works. In 1905, the company changed its name to the Cascaden Mfg. Co.
A picture of a Cascaden-Vaughan steam traction engine is shown in Floyd Clymer's Album of Historical Steam Traction Engines and Threshing Equipment No.1
On page 79 of the same book is an ad that shows the Winneshiek Thresher. "It Saves the Grain" is stated in the ad. The ad also mentions that Cascaden-Vaughan Co. are the successors to the Waterloo Threshing Machine Co. and Waterloo Motor Works.
In 1908, the firm was sold to William Galloway and it became the
William Galloway Co..
