Forest P. O. (Blackbird Station,)February 6th, 1901.

To Those Interested:—Af­ter several months business, I am pleased to announce our New Gy­rator Mill, 50 barrels daily ca­pacity, a complete success. Have had no break, interruption or single complaint; but many very complimentary testimonials. Am therefore confident in assuring the public of quick and satisfac­tory service in every respect.

In addition to the flour mill we have two pair large buhr stone« for table meal and buckwheat; also feed and cob meal, of which we make the finest quality in a few minutes, or exchange as da- sired. The grinding of corn by stone, and especially cob corn, is regarded as safer and better by reason of crushing instead of cutting as is done by steel.

We have a sheller, 100 bushel per hour capacity, for conven­ience of our patrons.

Custom from a distance espec­ially solicited. Flour in stock for sale or exchange; also mill feeds of all kinds. We make three (3) established brands of flour. Can make eight, (8) there­by accomodating anyone in spec­ial brands, or particular quality. Our Brands are :
