MODERN FLOUR ExCELs
THAT OF YEARS AGO


There has been an open discussion of
late among millers which is particular
ly interesting in cities where hour mill
ing is one of the chief industries,
fine a quality as it was many years
ago, when patent -four was first milled
in Minnea polls. Most of the millers in
sist that modern -four is superior to
any that was ever milled. while others.
especially the old-timers, claim that
wheat -four as manufactured by the
Washburn<Crosby Co. years ago. was
so good as to make improvement a diff
ficult matter.
Tire Washburn- Crosby Co. has decid-
ed the question emphaticaliy. and all
through chance, and the modern flour
comes out a winner by several shades
of Wilderness. 1t is explained by those
who are familiar with the history of
the company that IA years ago a
scheme was thought -out for packing
-four in cartons for domestic use.
The idea was thought to be so good
that large number of four-pound car
tons were ordered manufactured and
the Washburn- Crosby -four put up in
that shape. But It was too great a. de-
partufe from custom and the carton
idea at that time was not thought to
be practical SO the new scheme was
abandoned.
The other day one Of those four
pound cartons. packed IA years ago.
was brought to light. and it was at
cnce seen that here was an opportuni-
ty for comparison with the -four being
milled at the present time. A test
showed that the -four had kept well
during he long period of IA years, and
had only deteriorated slightly in a
minor function. Compared with the new
flour it was found to be coarser. and
not white as the GOLD MEDAL
finding Of the old carton has set at rest
all arguments as to the comparative
quality of the -four now being miHed
in Minneapolis and that of a decade
