Facts about 4 Leading establishment

Facts about 4 Leading enlistment.
The history Of our commercial devel-
opment records our milling enterprises
as most prominent in building up the,
trade at presents enjoyed by our eity,
and as we inspect the -four mills which
rise prominently from out their sur
roundinggs in the manufacturing district,
we recognize the amount of capital in
vested. the number Of workbench en-
ployed. and the general benefit New
EUlm enjoys through the mills. And q
better situation for such proud and
prosperous enterprises could not we'll
be found, as our agricultural district
has proven itself the home Of the best
| wheat raised on earth.
Proof of this is the fact that New Uln
flour is quoted higher on eastern mar
kets than any other, and efforts have
come to light where INSCRIPTIONS par

our mills to an inferior article of their

Eagle Mill, conducted by Mr.. Chas.
silverson, the general manager, and
Mr.. T. Frey, gentlemen from Cincin-
natl, who have bought out the old COM
pany, consisting Of our honored citi-
.zens, Messrs. W. Boesch, George Doeh-
ne and Jacob Phenninger, who started
the mill, and for years managed it in
admirable style.

structed, nexta commodious office, ar
tistically built, a large elevator erected,
and last but not least a huge, brick
smoke-stack, towering high above its
surroundings, and guarding the inn
mense establishment. Besides the mill

I. the old elevator and the new structures
painted. SO that the premises are now
adorned by as handsome a set of manu-
featuring buildings as are found else.

The mill was built by E. P. Allis &
