ONE OF MOST MODERN EQUIPPED MILLS IN STATE.

After being closed down a period ‘of six weeks, the Iroquois Roller Mills, of this city, again resumed operations with increased capacity. Being unable to secure a sufficient supply of the 1918 wheat crop to tide them over to this year’s crop, the mill was forced to close down and ship in flour in order to take care of its bookings. However, Mt. Sprague lost no time and gave the mill a complete overhauling from top to bottom by clothing his sifters with new silk, some much-needed new machinery, changing from steam power to electric power, having installed two 20’s, one | 7 1-2 and one 5-horse-power motors . which are a big improvement to „this city, as they do away with the smoke and dirt created by the steam power, j Mr. Sprague extends an invitation to the public to come and see the mill in operation.
