FOOD VALUE OF FLOUR

Every Means Known to Science En-
ployed in Manufacturing ceresota
In these modern days when every
body is interested in food laws and
diet. one of the greatest of all human
foods that has been used for hundreds
of centuries and probably will be used
for centuries to come, has been stead
lily and quietly keeping progress with
all other forms of food products.
In the extensive mills of the North
western Consolidated milling COM
pany, which are scrupulously clean
from roof to cellar, is manufactured
the famous Ceresota flour, which is
having unprecedented sales all over
the world.
This -four 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 neces-
sary in -four and which is so studious-
ly considered in the manufacture of
Ceresota -four. and which has brought
success to this company in its bust
ness 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 not altogether known
that flour ground from wheat grown
in these sections has a decided and
unique advantage over the -four man
ufactured from wheat grown in other
sections of the country, inasmuch as
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
purchasing.
Wheat, like many other staple arti-
cles, is subject to many inspections
and gradings before it finally reaches
its goal. The wheat, while 1t may be
inspected and graded by state Off
Gals as being of certain grade, may
not altogether be suitable for milling
into flour, and in order 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 of wheat are
daily inspected, tested in various ways
and ground, before any of it is unload
ed into the bins at the mills and If
for any reason the wheat is found to
be deficient in such qualities as will
fail to produce the finest grades of
flour, 1t is Immediately rejected.
For great success in milling the
miller, whatsoever he may be, under
stands that uniformity of grade is the
very life of his business. The North
western Consolidated Milling company
oDerate eight mills. all in the city of
Minneapolis with daily capacity of
$4,000 barrels of flour There are
employed at the mills and elevator
over $50 men, the largest number EN-
ployed at any one time being $40 men,
and the wages for this army of men
amount to over $4,000 per annum
The shipments of flour every day re-
quire over 100 cars and for feed re-
quire over 20 cars each day.
Ceresota flour is sold everywhere
from Maine to California, in Great
Britain and in Ireland, in Germany
Sweden and Norway and Finland.
OF the 16.330000 barrels of -four
manufactured in Minneapolis last
year this company produced 100000
barrels and hope to exceed this figure
for the coming year
