March 20th, 1892. JARUS.
A New Enterprise.
We are informed there is a move on
foot to organize an elevator and milling
stock company, with a view of erecting
at the railroad track, in West Salisbury,
a large elevator and storage building to
be fitted up with all the necessary mod-
ern improvements for speedily unload-
ing from cars, loading, drying. cleaning
and storing large quantities of grain,
flour, feed, salt and a general line of
country produce. a
We wish our enterprising citizens sue-
cess in this proposed enterprise, hoping
they may be able to speedily secure the
necessary amount of stock to. carry the
venture to completion, believing as we
do that no better paying stoek could be
secured in this section than this would
prove to be: hesides, being of vast inter-
est and convenience to the business men.
farmers and community at large.
The object of this company, if we un-
derstand correctly. is to conduct business
on a general whosesale basis and be able
to connect with the principal grain mark-
ets of the west, and through this they
in buying such grain and feed necessary
to supply our wants which our home
production is insufficient to fully supply.
The fact that in the past six months there
has been shipped in and unloaded at
West Salisbury, 25,000 bushels of corn
and oats, from 1,000 to 1.200 barrels of
flour. and a vast quantity of mill feed,
potatoes, salt, etc., as the consumption
in bread and feed is rapidly increasing
annually, the advantages this enterprise
would produce aver the present disad-
vantageous mode of conducting business
may readily be figured on.
A large amount of additional trade
conld be brought here, which under pres-
ent circumstances is going elsewhere.
The farmer mav ask what advantage or
benefit all this would be to him. In an-
swer we will say that an elevator in your
midst wonld offer von the advantage of
hauling your grain right from the thresh-
ef to the elevator ‘and the opportunity te
sell for full market price! for ready cash;
or, should you prefer, to store it and hold
for future change of market value; ~be-
sides, the great advantage of properly
curing, drying, and cleaning your grain,
thereby getting it in proper condition to
command top market price.
A very large amount of the grain
raised in this section is not properly
cared for after harvest, but.is hurriedly
threshed, and while very damp, is
dumped into the farmer's bin, and in a
short time he too often finds his grain
musted and spoiled and of no value for
flonring—sometimes searceiy fit for feed
—and then expects to sell it to the mill-
ers, who after purchasing and in their
vain endeavor to make good flour from
it, find to their sorrow that hy placing
such flour upon the market their custom
has dropped off. and with ready cash
gone in search of Minnesota flour, there-
by sending into the pockets of the west-
ern farmers cash that should have gone
into the pockets of the tillers of the soil
nearer home.
The object is to combine with this ele-
vator the Roller mill and milling business,
at West Salisbury, which would give it
the advantages of the well equipped
Roller mill and milling business of H, A.
Reitz. Mr. Reitz will take a large inter:
load a car to be sent to Indiana. Anoth- |.
would be able to get special inducements!

The amount necessary to carry on this
elevator and milling business successfully
on the proposed plan would be a capital
of $15,000. Of this amount about one-
half would be necessary to procure the
mill and erect the elevator and storage
building with the necessary improve-
ments. The balance wonld be used to
buy stock and carry on the business.
Over half of the $15,000 is already se-
cured, and the enterprise should have the
earnest support of our business men and
farmers in soliciting and securing the
balance. : y
