Jeff Flouring Mills, article & picture (see article for picture): Of all nature's contributions to the well being of man, grain ranks 1st. From its producing aliments, richer in nutritive qualities, more easily assimilated in the digestive process, & productive in better results to the human system. All are valuable in this regard, but wheat is chief. In ancient times wheat & corn were not only known, but their uses transcended those of the present day. Coined money was not yet invented in the time of the Pharaohs, commence being carried on only by means of barter, & metal in the form of rings, coils & bars, being only employed in the payment of tribute or in the settlement of large transactions. Some kind of circulating medium was, nevertheless, indispensable for the daily purpose of life & the current cash of ancient Egypt was corn & wheat. From the earliest date which the papyri cast any light upon the fiscal system of the country, corn & wheat are seen to occupy the place of money. The state graineries were government banks, & in order for so many measures was equivalent to a draft on the treasury. Taxes were paid in it. The soldier, the civil functionary, the crown pensioner were all paid in it. Loans were effected in it, & longer after minted money had come, under the Ptolemys, into general circulation, grain continued to be the popular factor in matters of sale & purchase. As with the soldiers pay, so with the wages of workmen. Grain for long payments, bread for short payment, was everywhere the rule. The manufacture of wheat into flour is, it might be said, the most important of all commercial pursuits, & the miller, while we may seldom think of him, places us under daily obligation; to his industry & enterprise we are indebted for our principal aliment, to his integrity & honor we confide its purity & excellence. Among the best & most completely equipped mills, with the most improved & approved modern machinery & mechanical appliances in this section of the state, is that of Winterling & Gannon, a cut of which we present herewith. It is a full roller mill with the latest & most perfect facilities, for purifying, reducing, etc, together with 2 rye stones & one feed stone, feed crusher, etc., It is 3 stories & a basement high, a large, imposing structure. Motive power has always been furnished by water, but the proprietors have been so much troubled of late with the scarcity of water, that this fall steam power was added, to be used when there is not sufficient water. Six hands are employed, & the output is about 125 barrels of flour daily, besides an immense quantity of feed grinding. Their special brands of flour are White Swan, Favorite, May Queen & Gold Dust. The best Minn & Wis hard wheats are used, & the flour is as pure as mans best efforts can make it, & its popularity attests its excellence of quality. The firm has established a standard of commercial honor which has served them in the patronage as well as the esteem of the trade. The active managers of the mill are the partners, Nelson Winterling & J. M. Gannon, while James Freeman, one of the best millers in the state is the head miller. |
