The Northwest Territory was Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.^[1] Since the "Midwest" did not exist yet at this time, it would make sense that it continued to be colloquially referred to as the Northwest.^[2]

I'm well aware of where the Northwest Territory was, but the source doesn't say in the "Northwest Territory"; it says in the "Northwest". Your interpretation is just that; in Wikipedian terms, that's original research.
The term "Midwest" has been in use since the 1880s, over a decade before the source in question was published (1895), and "Middle West" was employed long before that. So the meaning of the term "Northwest" in the source remains ambiguous.
The Northwest Territory ceased to exist in 1803, long before the Pritzlaff Hardware Company was founded (1884), so saying that in the late 19th century the company was the largest in the Northwest Territory makes no sense. 32.218.33.251 (talk) 00:58, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
