The advertisement with this photo reads:

    The KEILMAN & CO.

    Is one of Lowell's large and old established firms. It was established in 1880 under the name of DuBreuil & Keilman, an elevator being built that and the following year with a capacity of 60,000 bushels.

    In 1889 a grist-mill was added with a capacity of 75 barrels per day. John A. Kimmet became a partner and has been the practical head of the company since. In 1902 a large lumber shed was added to the equipment. They now handle grain, tile, brick, cememt, lumber, glass, paints, in fact, anything that enters into the construction of a modern building. Their trade is extensive and far-reaching. They make frequent shipments to Chicago, Chicago Heights, Frankfort, Madison and various other points north and south, east and west.

    The artist has reproduced an interior and exterior view with Mr. Kimmet at his desk.
