DENNIS BROS. COMPANY.
In 1910 Dennis Bros. had been established over twenty-five years. It was originally known as Watters & Dennis before its reorganization in 1900.
In 1910 the firm was the largest jobber and wholesaler of flour in Iowa. The company did a general business of flour, feed, grain, hay, oil meal, molasses feeds, and poultry feeds.
The company owned two warehouses for storage of its flour. Between 4,000 to 5,000 barrels of flour were kept in stock at all times.
The 1909 Dubuque City Directory through the 1923 Dubuque City Directory listed 106-120 Main as the address.
