100 Years of Boswell

Boswell cotton gin office, 1920s

In 1925, the Colonel took things to the next level, officially incorporating his business as J. G. Boswell Company. Over the next thirty years, he focused on turning it into a leader in cotton production, constantly investing in better ginning and processing to keep up with the growing demand. Starting in 1929, Colonel JG expanded the company’s reach into Arizona’s Salt Valley, where he built a mill and quickly set up ten gins around the Phoenix area. In 1930, older brother Walter, who had just retired from the US Army, joined the two Boswell brothers in California and was soon sent to Arizona to manage these new operations.
