Large crowds interestedly watch
the operation in Pulleu ~ Whitney's
window of the coffee mill grinding by
electricity. The device by which it is
done is that Of Geo. II. Niles. who
made the motor and perfected the gen
orator, connecting the power coming
from Harmony block. The mill. which
is of the best make and Just put in,
has. 200 revolutions per minute and is
capable of grinding pound of coffee
in half a minute. This enables pullen
e. Whitney to grind Just as the coffee
is wanted and saves every instant pos
slbIe from the time in which coffee
loses its f1avor-a process that begins
as soon as ii is ground. The coffee for
which this store has won such a repu.
tation, Ropes Arabian Mocha, mixed
with Old Government Java, is bought
by Pullen Il Whitney in the raw state
in large quantities and in the original
bags in which it is imported They
have it stored and roasted only so fast
as required by their trade, because the
loss of flavor, preserved while raw, be-
gins as soon as the roasting is done
though much more rapidly after grind
ing, and with this new appliance they
are equipped 10 preserve the utmost
possible of ii. The coffee business
is one that requires consid. |
cradle skill in handling.
