In 1897, the first line company, called the Northern Elevator Company, began operations with 42 elevators. As the efficiencies of larger operations became apparent, new line companies were created. They obtained the name "line elevator companies" because they operated a number of elevators, or a line of elevators.  1, record 1, English, - Northern%20Elevator%20Company

En 1897, la première «line company», ou compagnie manutentionnaire, la Northern Elevator Company, commença ses activités avec 42 silos. Les avantages manifestes que présentaient les grandes entreprises du genre amenèrent la formation de nouvelles «line companies» qu'on appela ainsi parce qu'elles exploitaient plusieurs silos, c'est-à-dire une série de silos.  1, record 1, French, - Northern%20Elevator%20Company
