amongst the manufacturing enterprises
of which Manchester Is justly proud, are
the Dunlop Mills, located at the foot Of
Elull Street. Here the celebrated Dun
lop Patent" flour is manufactured. This
n Is the parent mill OF three flour and
corn mills. owned and operated by
Warner Moore & Co. The Dunlop Mills
have IL daily capacity Of LOGO barrels of
flour and 1900 bushels of underground
corn meal. Operated by water power.
TIL emills are enabled to manufacture Mt
minimum cost, and being located on the
Southern Railway, with switching privi-
leges to the Atlantic Coast Line. the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Seaboard Air
Line, they are admirably located from a
railroad standpoint. The gross SALES from
these mills for tho twelve months, ending
December 31st. 1905, will approximate
over sl,40O,0r0, rs against s1,40o,0OO in 1904.
The outlook for 1905 Is very encouras ines
for the reason that 1905 crop OF wheat on
the Seaboard WAS approximately tho
same as last year, whilst In the West
ern States there Is O. marked shortage.
This will handicap the Western mills
and will give great advantage to the
Richmond mills, as by having plenty OF
wheat tributary to Richmond, and opel'-
ating by water-power, they can under
sell their Western competitors Richmond
