To the Farmers in Particular
and the Public in General.
In addition to our first-class roller
wheat flour mill, which we built last
spring, and which has proven a suc
cess, we have just added the latest
improved machinery for making
buckwheat and rye flour. This
machinery can not be excelled. We
will be able to make you as good a
quality of buckwheat flour and as
good a yield as can be made in the
country. We have a complete mill,
which will prove itself:
First, a first-class wheat roller flour
mill, which makes as good a quality
of flour as is shipped from the West
or elsewhere.
Second, the best buckwheat flour
mill in the State.
Third, a rye flour mill that makes
as good flour as is in the market.
Fourth, corn meal and chopping
mills that do complete work.
We also manufacture Graham flour
of the best quality. Therefore wo
say without fear of contradiction that
we have the best mill for accom
modating the farmer and public in
general that there is in Butler county.
We make a specialty of grinding your
grain at once, so that you take it
home with you and save an extra
trip.
It will pay to buy your flour at our
mill, as wo make a strictly No, 1
grade of flour and sell it at as low
figures as it can be bought anywhere.
