% Quaker Mills are again imperative. II
said that the American Cereal Co. expende
)i over seven thousand dollars on the Ravenr
y plant during the past few months, and tn
t when the bills were sent in to the Trus
W headquarters at Chicago, Mr.. Schumache
" to whose persistent efforts the formation
;, the Cereal octopus was largely due, WI
q much diSpleased thereat, and insisted on Il
d. immediate closing of these mills, which W
d. done. a careful record is kept of the capa
lty and comparative efficiency of each mi
K and the Quaker plant has, after thorous
q tests, been found to be the best one in t
- " combine. About sixty pounds, or near
N. two bushels of oats are saved in the Raven
n | mills over any of the others i'll the manufs
b. ture of every barrel of oatmeal. The mi
to have been demonstrated, again and agai
e. to be economically the best, utilizing the 0;
ol more closely and turning out the best artiC
sc of meal in the market. 1t is further rumor
~ that the Trust is profoundly agitated by
in ternal differences, and the peace patched
between the former rivals by their comm
lis cial union is in precarious straights, bord
by ing closely upon open rupture. In ott
n words instead of tranquil trust it bids f
ne to become turbulent trust which is bu
lis degree from no trust at all. Quaker mi
~ ~ have always been thorn in the Schumacl
side and if they will only continue I
pricking process until the abominable co
bine succumbs to the interscratching of
jealous magnates, the immortal Quake
sc will be dearer and more valuable than e,
sar to the world at large. The public can VI
led led afford to laugh and be glad" over
troubles Of such institutions
