The Connersville Blower Company, organized in 1893, was created in order to compete with the P.H. and F.M. Roots Company, another Connersville firm that was world famous for its rotary action fans and blowers. The first president of the Connersville Blower Company was John S. McFarland, a local entrepreneur and promoter, who helped organize the Connersville Natural Gas Company and the Connersville Industrial Park in addition to his own McFarland Buggy Company
