Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 September 1919 — THE IROQUOIS ROLLER MILLS [ARTICLE]

THE IROQUOIS ROLLER MILLS

One'of the Most Modernly Equipped Flouring Mills in the State. After being closed down for a period of six weeks, the Iroquois Roller Mills of this city has 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, Mr. Bpragme - lost no time, but gave ihe mill a complete overhaul-. Lng from top to bottom, by clothing his sifters with new silk, installing some much-needed new machinery, changed from steam to electric power having installed two 20, one 7% and one 5-horse-power motors—-which is a big improvement both to the mill and the city, as it does away with the smoke and dirt created by the steam power. Mr. Sprague extends an invitation to the public to come and see his mill in operation.—Advt. si7 A new supply of that popular Thistle Linen correspondence paper in ruled, unruled and pound boxes, just received in The Democrat’s fancy stationery department.
