Attention IL called TO the advertise
nent of the Tar Valley Manufactur-

nouncing their readiness to serve the
local public with their products
-four, meal and feedstuff. This is
new enterprise. and one that bids
fair to attain the highest success and.
fill a long felt want" il perfect equip
ment in the way of a modern and up
to-date plant of its kind and thor
ough preparedness to serve every de-
mand made upon them count for
anything.
The plant is located on Tar River,
near Tar River station, on the Dur
ham L Henderson Railroad at what
was formerly the site of the old Minor
< Beasley mill. 1t has been thor
oughly rebuilt and refitted-every-
thing brand new throughout-and is
one OF the most thoroughly modern
and best equipped mills in the country
The daily capacity is so barrels of
flour and 600 bushels OF meal In
addition to this there is a complete
mill for grinding together corn and
cob for stock feed, having capacity
OF 10 tons daily. Another great con-
venience which will be appreciated by
the public is large power corn shell
Ter, with a capacity OF 1850 bushels.
As stated above this mill is thor
oughly equipped with the latest and
most approved machinery. No pains
or expense has been spared to make
it the best OF its kind. The new mill
building is commodious, and the
machinery for grinding wheat is so
full and complete as to assure the
largest possible yield of -four The
plant will be run day and night and
being operated by water power, on
such anextensive scale, gives the Tar
Valley Manufacturing Company a
decided advantage over other and
smaller mills operated by steam.
To quote the language of the ad-
vertisement, 'the people who haul
their grain to this mill will have the
satisfaction that never existed before
in this part of the State as the mill is
| of such capacity that no waiting or
coming back will be necessary. The
mill will be open at all hours, day and
night. Those who try earliest will
soonest experience the satisfaction
OF having accessibility to a mill OF

ton of -four and meal of the highest
