Monticello Flouring Mill Gets Order For Kosher Flour.

Last week The Loughry Brothers’ Milling and Grain Company completed the milling and shipping of a special order of flour to Chicago that was somewhat out of the ordinary. The order amounted to almost 4,000 barrels, which was nothing unusual; the peculiar thing about it was the fact that it had to be ground specially for the use of orthodox Jews in the making of their bread, especially the the unleavened loaf. The mill had to be stopped and the machinery adjusted and arranged to suit according to Jewish requirements. A Rabbi of Chicago, came here to supervise the work and brought an assistant with him who supervised the milling and shipping; every sack had to be marked “Kosher,” which the assistant did in the Jewish text. Both meh are .well pleased with their treatment and it Is likely that this order is only the forerunner of still larger ones.—Monticello Journal.
