The foundation of the great Bettendorf industry was a practical idea, and, strangely enough, it had nothing to do with railroad equip- ment. It brought into existence a new type of metal wheel and the ma- chinery for making it, both being the product of the genius of W. P. Bet- tendorf. In 1886, Mr. Bettendorf, then a young man, brought his ideas and the letters patent protecting them to Davenport, near three great agricul- tural implement factories, and set about forming a company to begin pro...duction. Here his efforts were as successful as they had been in dealing with the mechanical end of the undertaking. In a short time the first shops were in operation. The type of wheel made, it may be added, was soon recognized as ideal for use on agricultural implements and the concern which Mr. Bettendorf founded remains today the largest exclusive makers of metal wheels in the world. As soon as his first venture was well on its way toward success Mr. Bettendorf set about looking for new problems to solve.
