Washhurn-Croshy Co. wish to assure their many pmt
rons tht they will this year hold to their usual custoa
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, ana
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers arm
of the opinion that It Is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Croshy Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully thre
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haft
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'g flour far above othar
brands.- -.
