ABOUT NOWELS & SON’S NEW MILL

It Will Be a Big One And a Good One. «► * X To The Kottor—As there seem to be various reports in circulation as to the kind and size of the mill we wot contemplating build mg, we desire to state that the mill Will be built in connection with our elevators’ and will be three stories above the basement. The building will be frame, with iron siding and roofing, engine room will be of brick. It will be fuil roller process, and will have a capacity of 50 barrels of flour jper day. The machinery is to be xurnished by the Nordyke & Marinoa Co-, of Indianapolis who are among the largest mill furnishers in the world, and they guarantee this mill to make flour equal in quality and quantity of any mill of same capacity. Power will be so arranged that mill and elevator machinery can be run at once and power plant will be sufficiently heavy to enable us to increase capacity, when desired, and the machinery will'be so arranged that grain can be taken directly from car and by means of conveyors carried directly to the milling room. We expect to do what custom workthat may be intrusted to us and will also transact a Merchant milling busi - ness. We have secured the services of Mr. James Flynn, whom we regard as a capable and honest m&a as our foreman. We have engaged in this business with malice toward none but because we thought it would be profitable to us and to the people generally. We think the practice of paying freight on wheat to send it abroad to have it ground and paying a return freight on the flour is wrong in principle. If our people knew how much they pay each year on the item of flour alone they would be astonished. We have asked no assistance from the people and whatever advantage it will be to our town as a public improvement we shall be glad to know we are permitted to give It. We shall endeavor to be in running order by July Ist Respectfully yours W. R. Nowels <fc Son.
