FOOD VALUE or FLOUR.
Every Means Known to Science -
Employed in its Manufacture.

The manufacture of -four. the great
staple food of all nations, has been re-
duced To science, so that not only
the actual food elements contained in
wheat but only the right kind of wheat
is used and the balance used and sold
as by-products to be fed to cattle and
other live stock.
In the extensive mills of the North
western Consolidated Milling company
which are scrupulously clean from roof
to cellar, is manufactured the famous
Cerescta -four, which is having unpre-
cedented sales all over the world.
This flour is used for both pastry and
bread making and contains only the
best of wheat that is suitable for the
highest food qualities.
The uniformity of quality so ncces-
sary in flour, and which is so studious-
ly considered in the manufacture of
Ceresota flour, and which has brought
success to this company in its business
| career of seventeen years, can always
be relied upon
The wheat used in the manufacture
of CeresOta flour is selected from wheat
grown in the northwestern states. 1t
is said that flour ground from wheat
grown i'll these sections has decided
and unique advantage over the flour
manufactured from wheat, grown in
ether sections of the country, and that
barrel of flour made from such wheat
yields as many as forty. if not more,
pounds of bread, than from the same
quantity of Winter Wheat flour, very
important consideration when purchas-
ing.
Wheat, like many other staple arti-
cles, is subject to many inspections and
sradings before it finally reaches it's
goal. The wheat, while it may be in
spected and graded by state officials as
being of Il certain grade, may not alto
gether be suitable to overcome any
trouble in this respect, chemist
whose sole duty it is to see that none
but the best wheat or wheat that
will produce the best flour. is
taken into the mills Samples
wheat are daily inspected. tested in va
rlous ways and ground, before any OF
It is unloaded into the bins at the mills
and if for any reason the wheat is
found to be deficient in such qualities

Of -four, it is Immediately rejected
For great success in milling, the mil
Ter, Whosoevcr he may be, understands
that uniformity of grade is the very life
of his business. The Northwestern
Consolidated Milling company have
made their record in precisely this line
Of action. Year in and year out, their
brands are uniform in quality-no let
ting down for the purpose of making IL
start in a new locality at price cheap
er than they can produce the best floul
on earth, but holding their grade of
Ceresota up to its highest degree of
quality and getting their reward in in
creased sales.
They operate eight mills, all in the
city of Minneapolis, with a daily capa-
city of $4,000 barrels of -four There are
employed at the mills and elevator over
55 men, the largest number employed
at any one time being 579 men, and the
wages for this army of men amount to
over 100000 per annum. The ship
nents of flour every day require over
100 cars, and for feed they require over
% cars each day.
Ceresota -four is sold everywhere.
from Maine to California in Great
Britain and in Ireland, in Germany,
Sweden and Norway, and Finland
even the unspcakable Turk finds time
to utter words of praise for Ceresota
