In 1937 the company built a factory on Madison Road. Several family members were involved in the firm. In 1969 Grace A. Rush, Inc. and Beaumont Inn Foods of Harrodsberg, KY, discussed a possible merger, but it was not carried out. The firm was acquired in 1974 by Millelacs N.P. Company of Madison, WI.

| title | John Mandt Nelson Papers. 1897-1977. | repository | University of Wisconsin |
| description | Papers of a former Progressive Republican congressman (1906-1919/1921-1933), consisting of constituent and personal correspondence (mainly 1928-1932); speeches and writings concerning religion, the Philippines, and political topics; minutes, notes, and material gathered on the House Rules Committee as part of the Insurgent revolt of 1908-1910; a lengthy biography by his daughter Grace Nelson, and other miscellaneous and biographical material. Prominent correspondents include Louis Brandeis, Champ Clark, L. W. Claude, Thomas Alva Edison, William T. Evjue, James Frear, Zona Gale, Samuel Gompers, Ada James, Belle Case La Follette, Fiorello LaGuardia, Robert M. La Follette, Jr., Louis P. Lochner, Nicholas Longworth, Michael V. O'Shea, R. T. Rawleigh, Theodore Roosevelt, Edward A. Ross, and Edwin Witte. Biography/History John Mandt Nelson, educator, lawyer, and politican, served as Progressive Republican congressman from Wisconsin's Third District for a quarter of a century. For many year he was regarded as the dean of the Wisconsin congressional delegation. Nelson obtained his B.A. degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1892, after which he taught school for a number of years and served as superintendent of schools for Dane County. Between 1894 and 1897 he was a bookkeeper in the office of Secretary of State. During the same period he also studied law, receiving his degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1896. From 1898 to 1902 he acted as correspondent in the state treasurer's office. In 1906 after the death of the incumbent congressman from the Third District (which at that time included Dane County), Nelson was elected to fill the vacancy. From that time until 1932 he was reelected to every Congress save one. Nelson was a follower of Robert M. LaFollette, Sr., and a leader of the Progressive Republican or “insurgent” faction in Congress. In general, Nelson, along with other Progressives in Congress, voted with the Regular Republican majority in matters of organization, but independently when matters of conscience were involved. Nelson tended to support legislation favoring labor, woman suffrage, restriction of monopoly, liberalization of immigration, Philippine independence, and similar measures. He most notably broke with the party leadership in 1908-1910 when he led a fight to reform the rules of the House of Representatives, including a reduction in the powers of the speakership, at that time held by “Uncle Joe” Cannon. During the 1920's he was again involved in several attacks on restrictive rules. Nelson's independent position worked to his political disadvantage in at least two cases. In 1917 he voted against entry into World War I. Nelson's political enemies sought to create an issue by accusing him of a lack of patriotism and his son Byron (who was in Canada at the time of the passage of the Selective Service Law) of draft-dodging. Although Nelson and his son were vindicated, he lost his bid for renomination in 1918. In 1924 Nelson managed La Follette's independent presidential campaign and was rewarded by the withdrawal of his patronage privileges for many years. In 1932 Nelson lost his fight for renomination after the district was reshaped in conformance with Regular Republican wishes. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1933 to secure a position in the Agricultural Adjustment Administration Nelson retired from public and business life. He died on January 29, 1955. |
