Mr.. Irby George is compelled to
run his roller -four mill day and
night to it's utmost capacity to meet
the demands being made upon it by
the wheat growers of the county.
Although the mill and machinery
are of the most improved kind and
the capacity of the mill is large.
Mr.. George finds them inadequate to
meet the demands of his increasing

in newer and larger plant in time
for the next crop of wheat. He says
it will be the largest and finest mill
of it's kind in the county, if not IN
the State. Mr.. George is now re.
