Increda-Meal is not being sold. The company has been approached by potential suitors, but longtime owner Len Schmidt plans to hang on to his company, an official said. “We were considering a sale at one point,” said Lisa Anthony, director of research and development. Rumors that the company is in dire straights have circulated in the community for the past few months.

Until a few months ago, the rooms of the old Leffingwell House in Aurora were still furnished as they were when the Route 90 mansion was last occupied 50 years ago. The original wallpapering, although faded, still adorns its walls. And now multi-millionaire Pleasant Rowland plans to renovate the vacant landmark, once the home of Dr. Albert Leffingwell, a prominent physician and former village mayor.

Rowland purchased the house last May for $300,000 from Leffingwell's granddaughter, Tracy, who inherited the rundown structure from her mother when she died of cancer about two years ago.
