Potomac Pearl Hominy Mills,
GEORGE K. HILL & CO.,
ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.

w Tin q view W LHC NH LIauS, we respectfully
announce that these Mills are now completed,
and that we will take pleasure in showing SAM
Piles of all our goods (now manufacturing to
dealers or others inferred. We manufacture
PEARL HOMINY, GRITS AND SAMP,
AND
PEARL FLOUR AND MEAL.
The otial from these various articles combined
makes very valuable article of food for horses
and cows to which the attention of those inter-
ested is invited.
We claim superiority for the Hominy made
upon our Patent Mills for the following reasons:
First. 1t is made from dry corn without hav-
ing to go through the soaking process necessary
in the old way of making hominy, for the pur
pose Of removing the husks, which causes it to
begin to spoil from the moment it is thus made.
Whereas our process puts it IN a drer condition
than corn ever is naturally.
Secondly The same bulk Of our Hominy will
produce fifty per cent more of the cooked article
than by the wet process, rs ours swells While
cooking while the other swells while soaking,
before being cooked:
Thirdly. 1t takes half the time to cook.
Fourthly. 1t can be shipped with safety from
spelling to any climate, making cheap substi-
tute for rice and beans.
The above also applies to our Pearl Corn
Grits The best proof Of the superiority of HON.
my and Grits made upon our Patent Mills is
that they have been adopted by the Army and
Navy of the United States and approved by all
who have used them.
