Having been inspired by a drink served at the Kellogg brothers’ sanitarium, Post developed an entire line of grain-based products including such famous cereal brands as Grape Nuts and Bran Flakes. Post played a pivotal role in the development of the cereal market, and at the turn of the century, his company was considered to be one of the fastest growing.
