There could hardly be asked better

management would have earned the
thanks of Walla Wallans and the pa
irons of the company everywhere for
the enterprise displayed in being one
cific coast to install this greatest of
all inventions in the art of making the
most perfect flour known to millers
The Eureka Flour Mills were estab-
lished in 1880. The company is a close
corporation. the officers and directors
being the stockholders. They are: F.
s. Dement,, president; O. w. Brunton,
vice president; w. D. Church, secre-
tary. and F. G. Dement,.
While not the largest mills in the
state. the Eureka Flour Mills are
among the most complete in equip
ment of any in the state. Their capa-
city for the manufacture of flour is
800 barrels per day. The amount of
flour manufactured during the past
wear was 100000 barrels, or about the
product obtained from 100000 bushels
of wheat.
The company manufactures White
Spray Flour, Dement'S Best Flour,
Wonder Flour, Excelsior Flour, Ora
ham Flour, Wholewheat Flour and
Wheat Granules These brands are
made to supply a wide and extended
trade. both in this and other states.
Dealers. housekeepers and bakers who
would have the ne plus of good flour
should buy Dement'S Best.
A by no means unimportant item
of the product of these mills is an
excellent breakfast food, made from
the very kernel of the wheat This
is put up in cartoons and sold under
the name of Wheat GranuleS, very
appropriate name, invented by Oscar
w. Brunton. Wheat Granules is also
used for pancakes, mullins, fritters,
buildings, etc. and is meeting with an
increasing demand wherever it has
been introduced by the trade.
The by-products of flour making,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-07-20

of which there is about $4,000 tons
per annum, are sold as bran, shorts
and mill feed.
Another important product is steam
rolled barley, of which there is 1000
tons produced annually.
When the mind grasps the fact that
the aggregate of these products re-
quire the milling of nearly 100000
bushels of grain it is cause for Won
der at the perfection of labor saving
machinery that makes possible the re-
ceiving and handling of it to the fin
ished products and their final ship
ment with a force of only fifteen men
in all departments. It is hardly neces-
sary to add that no labor saving de-
vice or invention promising to improve
the quality of the products of its mill
need ever beg for consideration by The
Dement, Bros. Co. 1t might go with
out saying that the company has COM
blned the best of machinery, operated
by water and electric power, which
obviates all contamination possible
where steam power is employed. IN
der such conditions the corollary is
products approaching as near perfec
ton as possible
There are considerations, too, which
enable the company to compete with
other mills in price as we'll as quality.
Water power is an important economy
over steam power; but the fact that
this mill is at the very heart of the
greatest wheat belt on the continent
and that the company buys its wheat
directly from the farmers is no less

The Dacres is conducted on the

left undone in an endeavor to serve
patrons in such manner as to merit
their satisfaction and approval.

Their prices are, of course, subject
to market fluctuations. but are sutfic-
iently accurate to furnish a guide for
merchants in ordering by mail or
telephone
Much as retailers have priced the
system of commercial travellers, the
need of the genial knight of the grip
is being continuously made less by the
growing and extending use of the long
distance telephone. In illustration of
this, the Portland house of this great
wholesaling company has now only
four commercial travellers, and the
Walla Walla house but two. Yet the
annual volume of business transacted
by the two houses is greater than
twice as many travelling men could
bring to them unaided by mail or tele-
phone orders. The admirable tele-
phone system of the valley gives Walla
Walla merchants exceptional advan-
tage over coast merchants in this re-
spect. An advantage of which the
subject of this sketch benefits to as
great a degree, perhaps, as any
wholesale house in the state. Be that
as it may, the telephone orders from
merchants of surrounding towns form
so considerable a part of the COM
pany's Walla Walla business that
special and extra painstaking atten-
ton is given to all orders received by
telephone.
a secondary but by no means I'M
important part of the business of this
house is buying and shipping green
vegetables onions and fruits. This is
a tribute alike to the enterprise of
Walla Walla gardeners and fruit
growers and to the disposition of the
w. 3. Glafke Co. to do its share in
finding profitable markets for Walla
Walla products.
Ability to Compete
The location of the Walla Walla
house at the crossing of the O. r. &
~ and the w. e C. r. Ry., the latter
being a branch of the Northern Pa
cific gives this house shipping facili-
ties second to no other wholesale house
in the state. This, taken in connection
with the fact that the buying for the
Portland and Walla Wala houses is
done in conjunction and in quantities
to command the lowest net discount
prices, enables the company to meet
all competition not only as to quality
and price of goods, but to scoop all
other houses in prOmptness in deliver
| ing goods to east of the mountains
patrons.
The officers of the management of
the w. B. Glafke Co. are widely known
and universally esteemed wherever
known. Walla Walla made them well
come, and it's welcome has been amply
justified, both in the added volume of
trade annually brought to this city
and especially in the cOmmendable
manner in which the interests of the
company in Walla Walla are con-
