var str = 'Looking roughly to the east, bird's eye view shows Oatka Creek winding through town of 5,000 as of 1890--the second largest in Genesee County after Batavia. First settled in 1793, Le Roy was created in 1812 from a portion of the Caledonia land purchase; the two communities have continued to share a number of economic and familial ties.
The large number of numbered points in this relatively small town speaks to its civic spirit, an effective Burleigh sales agent, or both. Several lawyers and patent medicine manufacturers are listed as "places"; two railroads not even on the map paid the toll to be listed, as well. At this time, however, the most important player was the Le Roy Salt Works, point number fourteen located at upper left.';

var str = 'Number 18 on the Burleigh map, for a period this Caledonia firm was nationally known for its patented equipment--especially bean harvesters. Factory was founded by the McColl Brothers in 1868, until purchased in 1880 by Alexander and his son F[red] W. When Alexander died, F.W. Miller continued growing the business thanks to innovative designs.
An admiring profile in 1895 wrote that “Mr. Miller has alone and single handed worked up a large and extensive business in the manufacture of implements of all kinds, and it has grown beyond the control of one man. The firm will probably build new works in course of the coming year providing a suitable location can be secured in a more convenient proximity to the railroad depots” (Caledonia Advertiser 1 Dec 1895). This was to prove fateful, as Miller in seeking growth moved to Leroy, NY and sold patents to the Leroy Plow Company; he lost a legal dispute over their ownership in 1904.
These advertisements illustrate some of F.W. Miller's products.';
