Post, C. W.

(Charles William Post), 1854–1914, American food manufacturer and developer of breakfast cereals, b. Springfield, Ill. He worked (1872–86) selling agricultural machines and invented a number of farm implements. Plagued by nervous breakdowns, he stayed at John Harvey Kellogg's Battle Creek, Mich., sanitarium; the foods used there to promote health inspired him to start his own company. He created a cereal beverage called Postum in 1895 and subsequently developed a number of breakfast cereals. His Postum Cereal Co., which became General Foods Corp. in 1922, was a huge success, and he became wealthy. In 1906 he purchased thousands of acres of W Texas ranchland and developed a utopian farming community, later called Post. In 1951 his Long Island estate was sold to Long Island Univ. and became (1954) C. W. Post College.
