side OF the river near Its mouth. 1t was
some 50xSO feet and four stories high.
This building was purchased by Mr.. Tru-
man and its machinery put into it in
1858. At first to supply. the home de-
mand was about all could be expected
but the mill has grown with the town
both in size aud in the quality of its pro
auctions until it is now one Of the best
mills in the State.
IT'S CAPACITY.
1t has four run of stone, which are kept
grinding day and night, the force used is
so horse power engine. 1t employs
fourteen men, among whom may be found
as good mllers as the state affords. They
are men in every way qualified to manu-
factrresthea plump white. wi,fter (which
comes to their hands, In days gone by
the mill has suffered greatly for want of
good wheat its proprietor being obliged
to take whatever the buyers would fur
nish, but he has lately formed co part
nership with one of the shrewdest buyers
in the place, whereby he is enabled to
get just such grades of wheat as he may
require to fill his orders for -four. The
consequence is the reputation of his mill.
has wonderfully improved as is shown by
the fact that Lake Superior men who
commenced by ordering 10, 20 barrels
&c, have increased to 500 barrels, and
only this week man was here from
Chicago who wanted 5000 barrels and
would hardly take no for an answer In
stead of seeking orders he is now compell-
ed to refuse them. The four brands Of
this mill are as follows:
The ".Sno,o Drift" best winter wheat.
The Empire City, +" Spring :"
The "Manitococ Mis- +" superfne.
The ''Ricer Nils" g extrafine.
THE COOPER SHOP.
In connection with the above mill is a
cooper shop 3Ox5O which employs u
men, The barrels are made by machine
ry and turned out rapidly.
In this brief notice we are unable to
speak of this FIGURING n1iil as we would
like to, but our citizens can see that it is
OF immense importance to US in more
ways than one. 1t gives constant en-
ployment to about 80 men and it pays
the highest price for the excellent white
winter wheat which is produced in this
county. Success attend the Manitowoc
mills.
THE planning MILL OF ZAUNDER BROS. &
LINSTED
This establishment which came into
the hands of the present proprietors
about year ago was started we believe
by Mr.. +. W. Packard. 1t was burned
out III the summer Of GA and rebuilt
Its owner Mr. B. Markham run it awhile,
but being in poor health rented it to
man who it is said run it into the
ground )" it was then sold. Those who
now carry it on are practical men in every
sense of the word they work themselves
and see that others whom they employ
work to. This is the sure road to sue
cess in business life.

floor there is siding mill, cross cut and
ripping saw, and in the rear is II horse

scription, though they do all kinds of Job

specimens of their work nship, but just
now they are so busy filling orders that
they can scarcely keep up This firm also.
keep on hand all kinds of seasoned lumber
in the rough or dressed to order.
IMPROVEMENTS.
We understand that improvements in
this mill of a very important character
are contemplated, Of which we shall have
more to say hereafter
Thus it will be seen that the manufac-
turing establishments Of this town are
paying, and it is this branch of industry
that builds up cities and puts wealth
within the reach of all who have the will
to do and dare. Let no man be idle,
there S work enough for ALL -
