WOULD LOCATE HERE
ST. Louis Miller Desires to
Establish FIGURING Mill.
WRITES TO WICHITANS
Has VisitedWichita and Knows
of Business Opportunities.

There is a strong probability that
Wichita will soon have a Touring mill
/ of 600 barrels per day capacity. A st.
Louis miller who has sold his interest in
mills in that city has written to the
Commercial club here to ascertain what
can be done regarding a site for bis mill.
He is favorably impressed with Wichita
as milling center and has a strong de-
sire to locate here.
The man, who is considered a capitalist
in his own city, has been in Wichita be-
fore this time and looked over the situa-
ton very carefully. He practically de-
cided just where ne wanted to locate the
mill, but at the time the detection was
made the transactions for the closing out
of the st. Louis property had not been
made.
The mill when erected will be one Of
the most modern in the west. 1t will
have full capacity Of 600 barrels every
day and if necessary will be run both
day and night to handle the Kansas
wheat in this section of the country.
The Wichita mills in operation at the
present time are running day and night,
and yet are not in position to supply
their orders. The flour made Of Kansas
wheat is demanded by the people of the
east, and the opening 70 .ranother mill in
this part of the state is splendid.
A Touring mill such as is proposed
would be a desirable thing for this city.
Other cities in other parts of the state
have more mills and larger ones than
has Wichita. Wichita has the grain sup
ply and she should have the mills.
Action in regard TO the matter will
probably be taken by tho Commercial
club within few days and definite terms
made regarding the proposed industry
for this city.
Former Wichita people who know the
originator of the plan have stated that
his opinion of this city and its future is
fiattering. and with the proper manage
ment Wichita can secure a man and
mill that will be Of immense help to her
as a grain and market center.
