dc.description	Postcard showing the crowd waiting to hear President William Howard Taft speaking at the Michigan Central Depot in Battle Creek, September 21, 1911. Taft was visiting Battle Creek as part of a 13,000 mile western trip by special train and used his speech to talk about reorganizing large corporations to bring them into compliance with the anti-trust law, as reported at length in the New York Times on September 23. On the dais with Taft (center) were Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (in white coat), C. W. Post, and W. K. Kellogg among other local and state dignitaries. He was met at the train station by 4,000 school children with flags. After the speech he paid a brief visit to the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
