Ingersoll also developed as an industrial centre. During the late 19th century, the town's largest industries were "Noxon Bros.", a manufacturer of farm implements (1856-1916) and the "Ingersoll Packing Co.", a cheese-exporting and pork-packing firm (1880-1920s). The Noxons' firm was shuttered in 1916, but other large industries took root during the early 20th century, including the "St. Charles Condensing Co." (later "Borden's Condensed Milk"), the "Morrow Screw & Nut Co.", the "Ingersoll Machine and Tool Co.", and the "Ingersoll Cream Cheese Company".
