Historical Sketch of Bowman Dairy Company and Bowfund Corporation

From 1885 to 1966 the Bowman milkmen were familiar sights to Chicagoans as they delivered dairy products to homes, first by horse-drawn wagons and then by trucks. During these years the Bowman Dairy Company grew rapidly, becoming one of the largest dairies in Chicago. The company also owned subsidiaries, other dairy companies, powdered milk and powder egg companies in other cities of the United States, primarily in the Midwest. At one time, Bowman Dairy Company was the largest home-deliverer of milk in the world. However, eventually losses in the home delivery sector of the business forced the company out of the dairy business, which was sold to Dean Foods in 1966. An investment company, Bowfund Corporation, managed the assets resulting from that sale.

 

Bowman Dairy had its origins in downstate Illinois during the 1870s when Johnston R. Bowman, eldest son of Robert Bowman of Sandoval, Illinois, traveled from the family farm to St. Louis to arrange a market for the milk produced by farms in his neighborhood. After surveying the situation, Bowman decided not to contract with an existing vendor and began to market the fluid milk himself, transporting it by horse and wagon from his family’s farm. The milk was sold under the names of the J. R. Bowman Milk Company and the Granger Milk Company, and the family’s fortunes prospered. In 1876, J.R.’s younger brother, Robert A. Bowman, came to St. Louis to help in the business. During the early years of this enterprise other persons also held partnerships in the Bowman firm, but it was, and remained, essentially a family business.

 

In 1880 the father, Robert Bowman, moved to St. Louis to join his sons. Known as Bowman & Company, the firm at that time handled about 800 gallons of milk per day. By 1884 the family was ready to relinquish farming completely, and the youngest of Robert Bowman’s sons, Ernest M. Bowman, came to St. Louis to join the company. Dr. Comfort Peck, the husband of Robert Bowman’s only daughter Katharine moved from Pennsylvania to St. Louis in 1885 and undertook responsibility for insuring the quality and safety of the firm’s milk.

 

While Bowman & Company was profitable, the family believed that some other northern city might offer even greater opportunity than St. Louis. After judicious investigation, the family decided to sell fluid milk in Chicago. They entered the Chicago market in Feb. 1885 by purchasing the firm of M.A. Devine

 

For several years the Bowmans maintained operations in both St. Louis and Chicago. The firm was incorporated in Missouri in Feb. 1886, with the elder Bowman serving as president and his sons and son-in-law holding important company offices, but the focus of the business began to shift when the Chicago venture proved to be more profitable. The firm at its annual meeting in Jan. 1891 decided to sell the St. Louis operation and concentrate on the Chicago market. In July 1891 the company applied for a charter under Illinois law.

 

The firm expanded rapidly in the Chicago area. It purchased the Jersey Milk Company and also shared office space and routes with the Charles Creamery throughout the 1890s. Bowman Dairy and the Charles Creamery existed in a symbiotic relationship, Bowman selling fluid milk and Charles, eggs and butter, all from the same milk wagons.

 

In the last years of the nineteenth century the Bowman company participated in a plan which would have created one very large milk company to serve Chicago. Named the Chicago Dairy Company, the projected firm would have combined several major Chicago dairies under the presidency of J. R. Bowman. However, the plan, engineered by John LaFeber, collapsed when the public sale of stock in the new company failed. Public reluctance to invest probably was due to the close relationship between LaFeber and Joseph Leiter, whose earlier unsuccessful effort to corner the wheat market had tarnished his reputation.

 

The failure of this venture left Bowman Dairy to continue its aggressive growth independently. In 1898 it purchased the Charles Creamery and fully integrated it into Bowman’s operations.

 

When Robert Bowman died in 1900, he was succeeded as company president by his eldest son, Johnston R. Bowman, and the company’s development continued while the dairy maintained its emphasis on quality. Bowman purchased its first milk pasteurizer in 1907, although the firm had been buying pasteurized milk from other sources prior to this date. (Bowman had begun pasteurizing cream much earlier because butter made from pasteurized cream had a significantly better taste.) By the first half of 1908 all of the firm’s milk was being pasteurized.

 

J.R. Bowman also introduced some administrative changes. The firm’s centralized bottling plant in the city was superceded by several smaller plants located in the country, nearer suppliers of raw milk. The first country plant was established in Elburn, Illinois, in 1901. During the same year, the firm modernized its accounting system.

 

The last major expansion of the company before J. R. Bowman’s death in March 1920 was the purchase of the Kee & Chapell Dairy in Jan. of that year. J. R. Bowman was succeeded as president by his brother, Robert A. Bowman. Although R.A. Bowman reversed his brother’s decision to disperse bottling facilities, the firm continued to operate generally under the policies and procedures established during J. R. Bowman’s presidency. Expansion continued throughout the 1920s, with sales increasing at a steady rate.

 

By 1931, when the effects of the Great Depression became acute within the milk industry, Bowman was one of Chicago’s largest dairies and the leading milk home-delivery service. The Depression placed a severe strain on the company as milk prices fell rapidly. Bowman was particularly hard hit because demand for home-delivery, 85% of Bowman’s overall business, declined as well. In addition, Bowman’s long-standing closed-shop contract with the Teamster’s Union kept the wages of its milk deliverers much higher than the rates paid by Bowman’s non-union competitors.

 

In 1935, R. A. Bowman died, and Dr. David B. Peck, a son of Dr. and Mrs. Comfort Peck, was chosen to be the company’s new president. The company also initiated a far-reaching review of its options and, as a result, in 1937 decided upon new policies of product diversification and geographic decentralization. These policies continued through the Second World War and into the 1950s.

 

Product diversification began with the purchase of the Cremix Company in 1937. Cremix manufactured ice cream mix, a powdered substance which was combined with dairy products to make ice cream. Subsequently the Forest Milk Dairy was added to the firm’s lists of subsidiaries in order to increase Bowman’s capacity to produce ice cream mix.

 

Bowman Dairy also began to manufacture ice cream. In 1938 it acquired three small Chicago ice cream companies. The Carroll Ice Cream Company of Chicago and the Badger Ice Cream Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin, became Bowman subsidiaries in 1944. Bowman purchased the Cleveland Ice Cream Company of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1946.

 

Powdered milk and soon, powdered eggs and powdered butter, became important company products. By 1940 Bowman ranked approximately fourth or fifth in the nation in powdered milk sales. The company concentrated upon marketing to commercial bakeries, although large quantities of the powdered substances were sold to the U. S. Armed Forces as well. Deerfield Creamery (purchased in 1946) and Marwyn Dairy Produce (purchased in 1948) were acquired primarily to increase Bowman’s powdered milk production capacity. Bowman Dairy Sales Company, chartered in 1947, was established to handle the national marketing and distribution of dry milk.

 

Bowman also purchased a number of fluid milk dairies, in an effort to geographically decentralize its business during the 1940s and 1950s. Progressive Dairy Company and Cloverleaf Dairy, both of Racine Wisconsin, were purchased and merged. The Model Milk and Ice Cream Company of Terre Haute, Indiana also came under Bowman control as well as fluid milk subsidiaries in Columbus Ohio. In 1955 Bowman purchased two dairies in Saginaw, Michigan: Walter Hoff Dairy and Huebner Quality Dairy.

 

While Bowman’s diversification effort proceeded successfully, the parent firm’s dairy operations in the Chicago area showed excellent profits during the late 1940s. The Bowman Dairy employed approximately 4,000 persons in Chicago and controlled approximately 25% of the city’s fluid milk market in 1948. It was the single largest distributor of milk in the city.

 

Despite these achievements, a series of problems began to emerge in the late 1940s that eventually led the company to abandon the dairy business. One set of problems revolved around legal disputes. The fluid milk industry was extremely competitive. Allegations emerged of illegal market allocations by distributors to help maintain higher prices, and it was charged that certain distributors engaged in ruinous price-cutting in order to drive out any dairy that was not a part of their illegal allocation plans. These charges led to both federal criminal prosecutions and to private lawsuits.

 

The federal government’s major litigation was U. S. vs. Borden et al. filed in 1947. The government alleged that Borden and other companies, including Bowman, had violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act through market allocations. The government further alleged that the companies had violated a consent decree handed down in 1940 which had settled a similar suit filed in 1938, the original U. S. vs. Borden et al. In 1948, the government also filed two suits which named Bowman as the chief defendant. One, U. S. vs. Bowman et al. (48CR360), charged violations of the Sherman Act in wholesale sales. The other, U. S. vs. Bowman et al. (48CR361), alleged violations of the Robinson-Patman Act, Bowman being specifically accused of granting discriminatory discounts to the A&P supermarket chain.

 

Among the private suits filed, the one entitled Dean Milk Company vs. American Processing and Sales Company et al., alleged that eight firms, including Bowman, had allocated customers among themselves in an illegal restraint of trade. Once again Bowman’s relationship with A&P was in question.

 

The results of the numerous cases were mixed. U. S. vs. Borden et al. dragged on for fifteen years. The trial judge threw the case out in 1953, but on government appeal, the U. S. Supreme Court remanded one indictment of the several originally made, back to the lower courts for retrial. The government petitioned to reopen other indictments on the basis of new evidence, and the entire situation wound its way back to the U. S. Supreme Court in the early 1960s. Dean Milk Company, which had asked for various court protections and $16 million in damages, settled out of court for $1.25 million. The overall effect of these and other cases was to limit Bowman’s marketing strategies through a series of court-imposed orders and numerous consent decrees.

 

Bowman’s legal problems were compounded by economic ones resulting from a fundamental shift in consumer patterns of purchasing milk. Bowman, the largest deliverer of milk to homes in Chicago, found consumers increasingly abandoning home-delivery in favor of grocery store purchases. The problem became acute when the Teamsters Union adamantly opposed any cut in the number of home-delivery routes in order to protect the jobs of unionized milk deliverers. In 1959 the parent firm, Bowman Dairy, began to lose money. It remained unprofitable until its sale in 1966.

 

While the parent firm went into the red, it was carried by its numerous successful subsidiaries. Several plans were implemented to bring the parent firm back to profitability, including the construction of an extremely modern, centralized milk processing plant designed to reduce production costs considerably. However, Bowman’s inability to abandon unprofitable home delivery routes combined with unfortunate market changes in the price and overall consumer demand led Bowman to decide to sell its dairy operation. In the end the profitable subsidiaries were used as a magnet to attract a purchaser of the entire Bowman holdings. Bowman Dairy sold its Chicago operations, all of its subsidiaries, and all of its trademarks including the name “Bowman Dairy” to the Dean Foods Company in Jan. 1966. Renamed the “Bowfund Corporation,” the company used the profits from the sale of its dairy business to become a private investment firm. In 1969 Bowfund was merged with Baldwin Piano and Organ company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of D. H. Baldwin Company.

 

Description of the collection

These records document the operations of the Bowman Dairy Company from the firm’s founding in St. Louis, Missouri in the 1870s through the sale of its dairy assets and the establishment of the Bowfund Corporation in 1966, and Bowfund’s eventual merger with the Baldwin Piano and Organ Company in 1969. The records are primarily 20th century office files. They include minutes of the Board of Directors (1886-1952), stock certificates (1886-1966), reports and studies about both the company’s operations and its future plans (various dates, primarily 1950-1964), extensive personnel data including personal information about workers (ca. 1943-1959) and information about their wages (1908-1966), legal documentation including litigations involving alleged monopolistic practices (1938-1940); 1947-ca. 1963), civil suits for vehicle accidents (ca. 1950-1965), workmen compensation cases (1947-1966), sales contracts, property purchase contracts and other contractual agreements, and a voluminous set of financial records, including general statements (1901-1965), auditors’ reports (1901-1966), tax returns (1909-1969), and numerous and varied sets of ledgers and journals (ca. 1925-1965). Some information about several of Bowman'’ subsidiary firms also appears in this collection, but the records of these firms are incomplete.

 

The records are arranged in seven series:

Series 1. Historical files, 1870-1965 (boxes 1-8)

Series 7. Dairy industry publications, 1921-1972 (boxes 253-257)

Series 8. Audio Materials, 0MM.177 (box 258)

 

Description of the archival series:

Series 1. Historical files, 1870-1965 (boxes 1-8)

The historical files are a group of disparate materials that spotlight milestones and significant trends in the development of the Bowman Dairy Company from its founding to the 1960s. The series consists of three subseries

 

Subseries 1, Historical projects, 1909-1964, contains histories, reminiscences, and other notes relating to the history of Bowman Dairy Company. For the company’s 75th anniversary in 1949, a short history was published, entitled “The Flourishing Tree,” and some of these materials were gathered at that time. In 1956 the Board of Directors authorized the writing of a new company history. Gordon Adamson, a descendent of the founders of Bowman Dairy and an executive of the company, was placed in charge of the project, and more materials were collected, but the history was never written. Some of Adamson’s correspondence regarding the project is included.

 

Commentary on the “Historical Sketch of Bowman Dairy,” by Maurie DeBaets, an Officer and Director of Bowman Dairy Company:

 

Page 3, paragraph 1: "Practically all the dairies in the Chicago area had union contracts like Bowman’s. The difference was that some smaller companies might be able to cut corners in a way Bowman, the largest operator, could not. However, your statement is much too strong."

 

Page 4, paragraphs 5-6: "The Milk Wagon drivers union had at one time exerted pressure against charging a lower price for store milk than for delivered milk, but they never tried to prevent cutting off routes. Their attitude was that the wage scale was sacrosanct, but the number of employees was not. This led to a situation in which drivers delivering to large stores, receiving commissions based on retail, had very large pay checks indeed. It is a bit hard to understand why the drivers did not try to hold more jobs, even if the wages or commissions were cut, but they did not. Bowman could have abandoned retail, but the loss of retail volume would have increased average costs enormously. Today, many companies in other cities, where retail was once strong, have turned those routes over to the drivers so those drivers could operate the routes as vendors; in 1965, this was not practical politics. Finally, the real magnet for the purchaser of Bowman’s business was not so much the profitable subsidiaries, as the large Bowman store business. Dean knew they would shortly lose Jewel Tea’s business to a Jewel plant, and wanted to buy other business to fill the huge gap that loss would create."

 

Subseries 2, Early records, 1870-1965, contains various isolated records, documents, and correspondence which illuminate events in the company’s history as well as providing examples of some of its ongoing concerns. Present are early deeds and notes of the company (beginning in St. Louis); a set of accounting books from the turn of the century; personal papers of several of the company’s early executives; records of government requisitions and investigations affecting the dairy business; and examples of reports and forms from various periods.

 

Subseries 3, Advertising, publicity, and press coverage, 1885-1966, includes advertising and publicity promulgated by Bowman Dairy—pamphlets, circulars, and newspaper copy—as well as magazine articles and newspaper clippings about the company. The latter includes press coverage of strikes, alleged milk price-fixing, and government anti-trust suits. Much of the material in this series, particularly newspaper clippings, is bound in scrapbooks.

 

Series 2. Corporate records, 1886-1967 (boxes 8-33)

The Corporate Records series comprises materials concerning Bowman Dairy Company as a corporate entity. These include enabling documents establishing the corporation; minutes of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings; stock sales and relations with shareholders; and long-term projections of profits and plans for changes and development. The series consists of four subseries.

 

Subseries 1 includes articles of incorporation and by-laws (1891-1966) for both Bowman Dairy Company and its subsidiary companies. Later amendments to the by-laws are also found here.

 

Subseries 2 contains minute books of meetings of the board of directors and annual shareholders’ meetings of Bowman Dairy from 1886 to 1952. Summaries of minutes, texts of resolutions and papers presented, and other information about meetings from later years are included, but they are not complete. Also included are corporate record books of Bowman’s subsidiaries, which contain minutes of corporate meetings and some stock records.

 

Subseries 3 has bound volumes of stock certificates of Bowman Dairy and many of its acquisitions (1886-1966). These are cancelled certificates which were sold back to the company. The volumes contain stubs with information about each certificate sold.

 

Subseries 4, dairy operations evaluation, 1921-1967, consists of materials for studies of the viability of various aspects of Bowman’s dairy operations. Consisting mainly of financial information and reports, the files include some incoming correspondence and carbons of replies as well. The arrangement of the files is topical. Long-term profit and loss, efficiency of delivery routes, the merits of conversion to one-plant operation, real estate holdings, costs of administration, labor issues, and management of cash reserves are among the topics discussed. This set of files provides background for the company’s eventual decision to leave the dairy business.

 

There are three groups of files in this subseries, finance, operations, and stocks. The first consists of general financial records, including special studies done by Bowman’s accountants. The second is concerned with the firm’s day-to-day operations including sales, personnel, payroll, and accident files. The third consists of lists of stockholders, and reports on the return on Bowman stocks and the company’s long-range business outlook.

 

Series 3. Financial records, 1901-1966 (boxes 33-168)

Series 3 consists of the books and other financial documents of the company. It is divided into five subseries: audits, taxes, general statements, record books (principally accounts), and miscellaneous financial records and reports. Taken together, the subseries constitutes a detailed inventory of thee company’s financial status from 1901 until 1966.

 

Series 3 consists of the books and other financial documents of the company. It is divided into five subseries: audits, taxes, general statements, record books (principally accounts), and miscellaneous financial records and reports. Taken together, the subseries constitute a detailed inventory of the company’s financial status from 1901 until 1966

 

Subseries 1 is made up of the annual reports filed by the firm’s auditors. They cover the years 1901 to 1966 and are arranged chronologically. Between 1901 and 1906 the reports are quite brief. They contain balance sheets and reports on accounts. Beginning in 1907 and continuing through 1966, the auditor’s reports become far more detailed. Included are summaries of property, inventories, buildings, and investments. Beginning in 1928 similar reports are filed for subsidiary companies, but subsidiary reports are not kept consistently until after 1942. A consolidated financial report covering Bowman and its subsidiaries as a whole was begun in 1949. On an occasional basis auditors reported on reserves for depreciation and on examination of the divisions.

 

Subseries 2 is made up of federal, state and local tax material. The subseries includes tax notices, copies of tax returns, internal working papers deriving figures for returns, papers regarding lawsuits and appeals about tax matters, and other records and forms required for tax purposes. The records are arranged with federal taxes first, followed by state and local taxes.

 

Federal tax records include U. S. income tax returns by Bowman Dairy for the years 1909-1969. Along with the returns are filed company working papers used to generate the figures and, for such years as they were filed, Internal Revenue Service revenue agents’ reports (field audits). There is also information on various other federal taxes such as excess profit taxes and capital stock taxes.

 

State and local taxes are a very mixed group of levies, including real estate, personal property and corporate income taxes. Because of overlapping jurisdictions and a tendency for one tax form to be used as the basis for another, state and local tax files are difficult to use. Some files were kept by type of tax, others by place, the exact filing scheme determined by the method used by the taxing authority in computing the tax owed. State property taxes were originally compiled by year. Subsequently they were kept alphabetically by state. Most local real estate and personal property taxes recorded are those of Cook County, Illinois

 

Despite the difficulties in using state and local tax returns, the documents are useful in that they record Bowman Dairy’s property holdings in Chicago and neighboring areas and the holdings of various subsidiaries. Sales patterns of the company in various states and localities can also be traced, especially the sale of powdered milk.

 

Information on payroll withholding taxes and workmen’s compensation plans can be found in Series 5, subseries 2 and 3.

 

Subseries 3 consists of the general statements of the Bowman Dairy Company and many of its subsidiaries from 1901 to 1966. Balance sheets, profit and loss statements and various supplementary schedules are included in the general statement.

 

Reports for the Bowman Dairy Company are filed by year in reverse chronological order. Between 1901 and 1917 the reports were issued quarterly. Beginning in 1919 and continuing through 1965 the reports were filed monthly. The reports for July-Dec. 1917, 1918, and 1925-1928 are missing. The reports from 1929 to 1952 include full lists of securities owned by the firm. After 1952 there are only summaries of securities owned; however, these summaries are supplemented by the Investment Fund Report, 1954-1966, which lists securities held and the value on a monthly basis.

 

Statements of profit and loss and operating statements exist for many subsidiaries, but it does not appear that the file is complete. The statements of profit and loss are arranged alphabetically by name of the subsidiary firm and the operating statements are arranged by date.

 

For the years 1936 to 1965 consolidated general statements exist for the Bowman Dairy Company and all of its subsidiaries. Reports for 1936 to 48 are annual. Reports for 1949-1965 are quarterly.

 

Subseries 4 consists of the actual record books of the Bowman Dairy and some of its subsidiaries. These books are the documents used to generate the cumulative reports found in the other subseries of this series. The records are kept in two basic formats. The first is ledgers, arranged by account. Included are both general ledgers, recording all accounts, and specialized ledgers, which record selected accounts. The second format is the journals, which are arranged by date of transaction.

 

The most complete set of records available is the firm’s general ledgers. They are a virtually unbroken run from 1927 until the sale of the dairy assets in 1966. As arranged by Bowman, the general ledgers fall into four groups. The first group covers the years 1927 through 1950 and is arranged n a single alphabetical sequence. This file has been modified by the removal of work order accounts, since the information contained in these accounts is duplicated in series V, subseries 6. Beginning in 1951, a new ledger book was begun each year, with accounts still arranged alphabetically for the year. In 1953 the firm abandoned alphabetical arrangement for a numerical account code classification. A copy of the classification manual, with subsequent revisions, is filed at the beginning of the 1955 ledger, in box 90. In 1957 the firm computerized its records, and received monthly print-outs of the ledger. Bound with the computerized ledger are numerous other financial documents, generated during the same computer run. Balance sheets, statements of expense and voucher registers are included.

 

In addition to the general ledger, Bowman maintained four special ledgers documenting the firm’s vital records, its expenses, its equipment and its investments.

 

The company’s vital records, including the capital accounts and other key indicator accounts, were preserved in a set of books called ‘private ledgers.” These ledgers provided quick access to those accounts the company’s directors considered most important for evaluating the firms’ financial situation.

 

The expense ledger took the firms’ various expense accounts and divided them so that the company could have ready access to information on the cost of doing business. Two sets of expense ledgers were kept. One, called the expense ledger, (1925-1954), was arranged by place of expenditure or operation. Through it the firm could compare costs at various plants or maintain a record of a particular operation within a plant. The classification ledger (1933-1954) is arranged by type of account. Through this ledger the company was able to quickly determine expenses for the Bowman Dairy on a company-wide basis.

 

Ledgers of equipment were also maintained in two ways. The equipment ledger was arranged by physical location. Each piece of equipment received a separate card, stating its date of purchase, description of the item, purchase price or current value, and, if disposed of, the method of disposition and sales price if any. This ledger apparently started with a 1937 company inventory. It was maintained until 1955. A second equipment ledger (1932-1943) was used to record value and other summary financial information about equipment. It was also arranged by the location of the equipment.

 

The investment ledger (1944-1963) was used to record securities owned by the company, including stocks and bonds. It was also used to note all transactions involving securities.

 

Bowman Dairy company’s journal is available for the years 1932-1954. It is the general journal, recording all transactions by date.

 

Bowman Dairy also retained a partial set of books for the company’s various subsidiary firms. Most frequently the books found here are general ledgers. They are arranged alphabetically by the name of the subsidiary operation.

 

Since much of the material is on microfilm, and a few items are oversized, to speed retrieval of these materials researchers should note any special format (microfilm, oversize) on their call slips.

 

Subseries 5 consists of numerous financial records and reports which were deemed of permanent value but which did not fall into the other more regular subseries of Series III. Often the material found in subseries 5 represents a fragment of a larger group of material, unfortunately lost.

Most complete are a run of statements of expenses (1931-1951; 1954). There are also a few division profit and loss statements. Route sales records for the years 1941-1942 and 1946-1949, which may relate to various anti-trust litigations, have been retained. Information about milk prices in general and a few items regarding production statistics are also available

 

Series 4. Legal, 1929-1965 (boxes 168-199)

The legal series contains files and other records compiled by the Bowman Dairy Company which were used in litigation or which were the actual instruments through which the firm bought or sold property, obtained or loaned money and recorded various sales agreements. The series is divided into two subseries, Litigation and Legal Documents,

 

Subseries 1, litigation (1938-1953), primarily reflects allegations made by the federal government of monopolistic practices in the distribution of milk and also civil suits arising out of alleged illegal practices by Bowman or its competitors. The most significant are the two cases entitled U. S. vs. Borden et al. The first, filed in 1938, alleged that several Chicago dairies, including Bowman, had conspired to regulate the price of fluid milk. The case was settled in 1940 by a consent decree, but in 1947 the government alleged that the 1940 decree had been violated and filed a second suit, U. S. vs. Borden et al. The case dragged on for over 15 years, finally reaching the U. S. Supreme Court. In addition to the Borden case, the federal government filed two suits in which Bowman was named as the chief defendant. Both cases were known as U. S. vs. Bowman et al. and are distinguishable through their case numbers, 48CR360 and 48CR361. Sharp practices among competitors led to numerous civil suits. The cases which are most extensively documented here are counter suits filed by Bowman and the Dean Food Company in 1966.

 

Subseries 2 consists of a wide array of legal documentation, designed primarily to protect Bowman in case of subsequent litigation. Included is information about property, the registration of Bowman trademarks and various contracts. Much of the material was originally stored in the company's safe.

 

Certain legal records have been placed in other series. Workmen’s compensation and damages arising from vehicle accidents are both found in Series V, Personnel and Operational Files. Bowman’s articles of incorporation in Illinois and other such fundamental corporate papers are located in Series II, Corporate Records. Bowman’s articles of incorporation in Missouri and newspaper clippings and press releases about both Borden cases can be found in Series I, Historical Files.

 

Series 5. Personnel and operational records, 1908-1970 (boxes 200-246)

Series 5 consists of information regarding the employees of Bowman Dairy and actual day-to-day operations of the company. It is divided into seven subseries: employee records, earnings records, workmen’s compensation, pension records, company letters and bulletins, work orders, and vehicle accidents.

 

Subseries 1 consists of the company’s personnel records. Collectively, the personnel records provide a wide variety of demographic information which is of considerable interest to researchers. The inactive personnel folders (microfilm, 1943-1959) contain the most complete list of employees. A folder was created for each employee, and most forms by or about the employee eventually found their way into this folder. While the contents of individual folders vary, a typical folder includes the date of hire, date employment terminated, place worked, job performed, rating of employee, and employee opinions about the company as expressed in an exit interview. Information regarding the employee's education and previous work experience is often included. The inactive folders are arranged by the year that the employee left the company’s work force, and alphabetically by name within each year. The file is supplemented with the active personnel folders of 1959.

 

The personnel record cards were probably designed as a quick reference source. Dated ca.1925-1955, they are an extremely rich source of information. They include name and address, date of birth, place of birth, race, sex, education, marital status and dependents. The company also solicited the names and birthplaces of the worker’s parents and spouse. Information on some of the personal record cards is incomplete

 

The World War II security forms offer even more information about employees than the personal record cards. In addition to the information provided on the personal record cards, the security forms furnish data on the nationality of the workers as well as their religious and club affiliations.

 

The personnel series also contains a small but informative body of information about senior salaried employees, including several lists of officers and directors of the firm.

 

Subseries 2 consists of various records detailing the wages received by Bowman Dairy company employees. The major set of documents covers the years 1932-1964. Until about 1957, the arrangement is generally by name of employee; after this date, the arrangement is by place of employment. Information found here includes gross pay per pay period, deductions per pay period, and cumulative totals of gross pay, deductions and take-home pay Microfilmed documents are supplemented by payrolls for the years 1908-1920 and 1965-1966.

 

Wage change cards (ca. 1918-1962) which detail wage changes (generally raises) of individual employees are also included in this subseries. There are also Federal W-4 forms, which list the number of deductions claimed by each employee. Finally there is a folder of documents relating to the salaries of the personnel of “The Musical Milkwagon,” a radio show sponsored by Bowman in 1945.

 

Subseries 3 contains three groups of data. The first is reports, applications and correspondence with state industrial commissions regarding workmen’s compensation self-insurance plans as well as unemployment compensation. The second group of data consists of office records which list each accident and compensation paid to workers for each year from 1947 to 1965. These records include both Bowman and its subsidiaries. The third is accident reports, doctors examinations, insurance and related correspondence for each injury, filed by name of the injured worker, for the years 1964 and 1965. Again, both Bowman and its subsidiaries are included. Information on these accidents is summarized in the preceding set of reports.

 

Subseries 4 contains the pension trust fund records for Bowman’s salaried employees. It includes correspondence and memoranda (both business correspondence and correspondence with pensioners) on pension plans and amendments; proposals and research for pension plans; financial records including disbursements and investments, yearly financial statements and auditor’s reports, tax returns, form schedules, monthly investment reports and pension applications. Pension records for Sealrich Dairy are also included.

 

The files have been kept in their original file order, which includes an alphabetical file for individual pensioners.

 

Subseries 5 consists of company letters and mimeographed information bulletins. Form letters to the sales divisions (1937-1939) discuss the firm’s financial difficulties with great frankness and suggest various cost cutting methods. This subseries often gives an interesting view of the problems and goals of the Bowman Dairy Company.

 

Subseries 6 consists of work orders written up for new construction within an existing building or for the alteration or repair of a building or piece of equipment. Included are the place where the work was done, the date, a description of the work required, a list of expenditures involved in completing the project and an itemized list of accounts to which the expenses were charged. Orders cover the years 1937-1960.

 

Subseries 7 contains records of vehicle accidents involving both Bowman Dairy employees and the employees of subsidiary firms. They cover the years 1948-1949;

1953-1957; 1959-1965 and include an alphabetical listing of accidents by name of claimant as well as an index arranged by division or subsidiary and notes on final settlements.

 

For most years, detailed case files exist, although the files for several years are not complete. Case files include highway patrol or other police agency accident reports, insurance claims, legal papers for cases taken to court and related correspondence. Case files are arranged in reverse numerical order (highest number first). The five digit case number is a code, the first two numbers representing the year, the last three a sequential accident number.

 

A few other claims can be found in this file, such as consumer complaints about finding foreign objects in bottles of milk.

 

Series 6. Bowfund Corporation, 1934-1972 (boxes 246-253)

The files of the Bowfund corporation deal primarily with the transformation of the Bowman Dairy Company from a dairy business to an investment corporation, beginning in Jan. 1966 with the sale of the dairy assets to Dean Foods Company. Since the name “Bowman” was included in the sale to Dean, the reorganized company was called “Bowfund Corporation.” The directors and shareholders of the two companies were essentially the same people. The Bowfund Corporation merged with the Baldwin Piano and Organ Company in July 1969. The series is divided into three subseries.

 

Subseries 1 contains information on the transition from Bowman Dairy to Bowfund, files on the sale of the dairy assets to Dean Foods Company, and files on the Federal Trade Commission’s challenge of the sale. The majority of the files concern details of closing out the dairy operations, transfer of Bowman Investment Fund assets to Bowfund, and arrangements for handling the Bowman Dairy Company’s long-term obligations to its salaried employees, particularly through life insurance policies and pension trusts.

 

Subseries 2 contains a few day-to-day operational records of Bowfund Corporation. Most are of a summary nature. Included are the initial plans for the corporation, annual and semi-annual reports for the years 1966-1969, auditor’s reports, 1966-1969 and files on the annual shareholders’ meetings, April 1966-1969. Other files contain balance sheets, reports of gains and losses in common stock holdings, 1967-1969, correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service, 1966-1968, and reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission for 1967-1968, and files on companies considered for merger with Bowfund.

 

Subseries 3 includes information about the merger of Bowfund Corporation with the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company, 1967-1972. It consists of the basic legal documents required for the 1969 merger and reports from Northern Trust of the company’s assets up to 1972. No files after 1972 are included.

 

Series 7. Dairy industry publications, 1921-1972 (boxes 253-257)

Series 7 consists of miscellaneous dairy industry publications which fall outside the scope of the CHS library but provide useful background for the Bowman Dairy Company papers. The series has two subseries.

 

Subseries 1, publications, (1921-1972) consists of a few general reference books, U.S. Government publications, university publications, particularly from the University of Illinois, and miscellaneous trade publications.

 

Subseries 2, convention materials, (1910-1960) consists of indexes to the proceedings of the Milk Industry Foundation, some proceedings of the Milk Industry Foundation and other groups, and a number of papers, usually in mimeograph form, which were originally presented at conventions.
