While this doesn't apply to all situations, in many cases you have a
situation of a people working at a successful industry basically saying
"Hey, I can do this myself!" and setting up shop in the very same town, and
they in turn begat others.

The discussion of Mendota shippers raises another question. What was unique
about Mendota that there were/are so many feed shippers? Fasco
Feeds,FS,Swift,Continental all are reported to be feed mixers/mfgs.So what
is
special about Mendota to attract that industry in such volume?
For that matter why did Aurora have so many office furniture,shelving and
locker mfgs? Lyon Metal,All Steel,Aurora Steel Products,etc,etc? Or how
about
bearing mfgs? Aurora Bearings,Berry Bearing,Stephenson Adamson,etc,etc? Or
earth moving equip mfgs,Barber Green,Cat,Austin Western?
