I found this writeup in "History of the St. Croix Valley", published in 1909.

Kolliner Bros. & Newman Company. In the manufacture of trousers, shirts, overalls, duck coats and lumbermen's clothing and the jobbing of men's furnishing goods, Stillwater, Minn., is one of the recognized live competitors in the northwest territory. In 1904 Kolliner Bros. & Newman Company occupied the three-story and basement factory building, size 85x120. The building was fitted with all the latest labor-saving machinery for manufacturing clothing and shirts; electrical cutting and sewing machines, gas-heated irons, electrical fans, steam heated and lighted by electricity, the equal of any factory building as to light and ventilation in the country.

The business of this factory has grown rapidly; the first year's was $75,000, and has now reached $350,000 annually, and their sales cover the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington, all of which territory is covered by the company's salesmen. The officers of this company are: Max M. Kolliner, president; Phillip Newman, vice president; Jacob R. Kolliner, secretary and treasurer, with Robert S. Kolliner a member of the board of directors.
