is fouf which recommends itself, and
has only to be used once to become q

prietors have taken special pains In
bringing the grinding Of this flour up
to the highest standard Of excellence,
more particularly 50 on account Of their
trade being largely local. They pay par

never allow Of any dissatisfaction.
These gentlemen are to be cougratu.
lated upon the success they have met
with in their business venture. They
are both young men, are enterprising
and pushing, and we confidently expect
to see their business grow to very large
proportions in the near future. They

honorable and just business men.
Enterprise Planning Mill. #
An investigation of statistical facts and
an examination of our diverse industries
develops the fact that our lumber inter-
ests are not only of considerable maeni.
tude, but that in them we have one of
our main factors, stimulating enterprise
and progress, and to them we are in
debted to very large degree for what
ever progress we have made and reputa-
tion we have gained. By fostering these
lumber interests an industry second to
none other in promoting the prosperity
of this whole section OF the country has
been encouraged and built up. Our 10.
cation in its accessibility to the timber
regions would seem to render facilities
and resources well nigh inexhaustible.
Among the establishments engaged in
this line Of business the Enterprise Plan
ing Mill occupies most creditable posi-
ton in extent of trade, lumber handled
and manufactured and first class facili-
ties, as we'll as their commercial enter.
prise and prosperous career. The firm
of Utman, Jeans & Co., the proprietors
OF this mill, is representative one in
the lumber trade, exercising a beneficial
influence upon the reputation of the
city. This business was originally es-
tablished in the year 1872, by Charles
Utman and Joseph Bradley. Dur ing
the year following Mr.. Utman purchased
Mr.. Bradley's interest, and afterwards
took in P. G. Jeans as partner. The
original plant was small mill near the
railroad, adjoining J. M. Boyd & Co.'S
flour mill. In 1868 the firm bought the
mill now known as the Enterprise Plan
ing Mill, and for about four years run
the two mills. They bad made many
Improvements in the Enterprise Mill,
and concluded to concentrate all their
business in this mill. This proved to be
happy move on the part of the propri-
etors, as it enabled them to conduct their
business in more satisfactory manner
to themselves, while at the same time.
they could give their patrons better at
tention and quicker service. sl
The plant of this firm covers over
half block of ground, which is occupied
by factory buildings, ware house, storage
house, lumber sheds and huge piles of
lumber. Their factory, which is SUBJ
stantial two-story structure, is most fully
equipped with all of the modern ma
chinery for the business. The firm has
adopted the latest improved appliances
and machinery, and to-day they have
one of the best planning mills for its size
in the State, there being nothing in this
section of the country which can COM
pare with it for equipment or compete
with it for fine and satisfactory work.
They manufacture sash, doors and blinds,
all kinds OF building and other lumber,
mouldings and furniture, and do all
kinds of job and order work. They deal
in every description of hard and soft
wood lumber, lath, shingles, etc., and
can furnish on short notice anything in
the way of wood supplies needed for
the construction of house or building
of any description.
This Is one of our best establishments;
1t is decided credit to our city, and il
most certainly deserving of the patron
age of all Of our people. Particularly 10
this the case when it is to the advantage
of our citizens to patronise the Enter
prise Planning Mill. All of the work
turned out from this concern is Of the
best possible character. They employ
none but the best and most skilled me.
