WILL CELEBRATE FLOUR WEEK

Indiana Millers Will Observe Week of November 20 to 23. In connection with the special advertising in behalf of Indiana flour, the Indiana Millers’ association has formally designated the ■ week of November 20 to 25, immei diately preceding Thanksgiving, as Indiana Flour week. Although the movement originated with the committee in charge !of the special campaign in behalf ’of Indiana flour, the celebration of j Indiana Flour week is not to be I limited to the mills that are licensed to use the association’s label, but every mill in the state has been invited to co-operate with the special campaign to secure a statfc-wide 1 observance of Indiana Flour week. While Ralph Sprague,, proprietor of the Iroquois Roller Mills, is not a member of the association, his Blue Ribbon flour .is acquiring such an accredited reputation over the state that he will co-operate 'with the Indiana Miller’s association in the observance of flour week. The mills will observe Indiana Flour week by special advertising, window displays, baking contests, ■ public demonstrations, etc. Women of the state will be urged to try i Indiana flour during Indiana Flour week and demonstrate for themselves whether it is true that Indiana Flour is equal to any flour for bread and has superior qualities for cakes, pastries, etc. The bakeries that use Indiana flour will co-operate with the millers by advertisements of the fact that they use Indiana flour and they will urge those, who for any reason, do not wish to bake in their own J homes, to observe Indiana Flour j week by using their bread, cakes j and pastries that have been made with Indiana flour. Whether the baking be done in the home or in the public bakery, the women of Indiana will he urged to use Indiana flour products in * celebration of Indiana Flour week. : The products of the Iroquois Roller Mills are of the very highest quality, and the only reason that J Mr. Sprague does not belong to the association is that the smaller mills all over the state do not receive as much benefit from the state-wide ' advertising as the larger mills, yet they are obliged to pay their proportionate assessments. Indiana flour is rapidly being recognized to be. as good as any other state produces, and the local mill produces a flour that will compete with any.
