A WRONG IMPRESSION.

In an article appearing last
issue regarding the purchase of
the flour mill by local business
men, it appeared as though the
Times-Herald was rejecting upon
the business methods of Joe
Sturtevant, who has long con-
Quoted the business. This was
not the intention and we hasten
to make amends. The article
was written hurriedly just be-
fore going to press and did not
express all it intended. One of
the gentlemen who was interest
ed in the purchase outlined a
policy for the future in that the
mill, water power and land would
be used to enlarge other enter
prises in connection with the
mill. The price to be paid for
wheat was not higher than that
paid by Mr.. Sturtevant with the
exception of one season when it
Was llOI hilOWu NY lOCdl ftltiClldlilS
that there would be much wheat
and they had ordered a large
quantity of flour from outside
points and as Mr.. Sturtevant
would have TO hold the wheat
over a year, besides borrow mon
ey to pay for it, he offered II
cents per pound. Last season he
paid 2 cents for wheat.
Mr.. Sturtevant took hold of the
mill when it was a hard battle to
make it go and has done much
to encourage the raising of wheat
and keeping a vast amount of
money at home that had former
ly gone out for that product.
The Times-Herald wishes to give
Mr.. Sturtevant full credit for
what he has done in this respect
and to assure his friends that no
reflection was intended in the
former article.
