Early career

As a young businessman Kellogg started out selling brooms, before moving to Battle Creek, Michigan to help his brother John Harvey Kellogg run the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Together they pioneered the process of making flaked cereal. Because of the commercial potential of the discovery, Will wanted it kept a secret. John, however, allowed anyone in the sanitarium to observe the flaking process and one sanitarium guest, C. W. Post, copied the process to start his own company. The company became Post Cereals and later General Foods, the source of Post's first million dollars. This upset Kellogg to the extent that he left the sanitarium to create his own company. “Battle Creek” redirects here. ...

Kellogg cereals

With the help of his brother John, Will Kellogg promoted cereals, especially corn flakes, as a healthy breakfast food. They started the Sanitas Food Company around 1897, focusing on the production of their whole grain cereals. At the time the standard breakfast for the well off was eggs and meat, and porridge, farina, gruel and other boiled grains, for the poor. The brothers eventually argued over the addition of sugar to their product. In 1906 Will founded the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, later becoming the Kellogg Company.

Arabian horse breeder

Kellogg had a long interest in Arabian horses. In 1925, he purchased 377 acres (1.5 km²) for $250,000 in Pomona, California to establish an Arabian Horse Ranch. Starting with breeding stock descended from the imports of Homer Davenport and W.R. Brown, he then looked to England, where he purchased a significant number of horses from the Crabbet Arabian Stud, making multiple importations during the 1920s. The Kellogg ranch became well-known in southern California not only for its horse breeding program, but also for its entertaining weekly horse exhibitions, open to the public, and frequent visits by assorted Hollywood celebrities.
