The Origin of a Mill
Carl H. Klemer creates what would ultimately become the Faribault Woolen Mill Company. The original horse powered mill initially operated as a wool carding factory, turning local wool into wool batting.

Expansion Into Blankets
Cloth, flannel and wool blankets are offered by the Mill for the first time. Locals use these goods in their homes and buggies. New equipment would later be installed to meet demand for woolen goods in Faribault and the surrounding area.
