to imagine how any confiagration
could make Roadway against them.
They are considered to render build
ing absolutely fireproof and with the
other measures of protection taken by
the company it is safe to say that the
plant will stanG for many a day be-
fore suffering any very serious loss by
fire.
Those who have in hand the desti-
MES of the Caldwell Milling & Eleva-
tor Company are well and favorably
known throughout the west. The
president is ]. X. Mullin of Denver,
one of the best known flour mill men
in the west, and controlling heavy in
terests in this industry throughout the
country. His reputation as a clear
headed, far-seeing business man mas
placed him in the first ranks of the
successful men in his line, and his con-
necion whit this concern may be re-
garded as virtual guarantee of a
splendid and profitable future.
Practical in his line and capable in
all respects, is E. M. Holt, the young
manager of the mill and it's tributary
warehouses. Upon Mr. Holt falls the
cares and anxieties and all the host
of details which go to the making of
large and successful business. Born
in the shadow of a Touring mill he
has devoted practically his entire life
to this industry, and has achieved an
enviable reputation as a flour milling
man.
Mr.. Holt has been a resident of
Caldwell since October last, and be-
fore forming his present connection
was manager of the Idaho Implement
and Grain Company. He is a son of
A. D. Holt, president of the Longmont
Farmers Milling & Elevator Com
pany, with mills at Denver and Long
mont, Colorado, and may be regarded
as coming naturally by his talent in
the flour milling line. He is also an
active member of the local CONNER
cial Club, booster along all lines of
industrial improvement of which Cald-
well is justly proud, and no new citi-
zen of Caldwell has played so potent
part in it's affairs in so short a
time as has Mr.. Holt.
Few concerns of the IntermCuntain
company have brighter future ard
few have done more to merit the conf
6ence reposed in them than the Cald.
we'll Milling & Elevator Company.
The advantages of this section as a
-four milling field was we'll understood
at the time the plant was established,
and the success which has so far been
achieved in inducing the farmers to
plant large crops of hard wheat,
speaks volumes for the far-sightedness
of those responsible for the establish
ment of the plant. AS time goes on
the industry may reasonably be ex-
pected to make larger quarters a ne
cessity, but this, too, has been forseen
and provided for and additions to the
present capacity may be readily and
advantageously made.
Month by month and year by year
the farmers of the surrounding coun-
try will awaken more and more to the
fact that the growing of wheat for
the Caldwell Milling & Elevator Com
pany will rapidly take a foremost
place among the real profitable branch
es of farming. Since the beginning
of the distribution of seed wheat al
cost, many have gone out of their way
to voice their appreciation of the
treatment accorded them, and as a re-
suit, the failure of the wheat supply
can hardly be considered seriously in
reviewing the future possibilities of
the company.
Progressive, fair dealing and up
to-the-moment in every respect the
company's plant at Caldwell may be
pointed to as an example of what a
successful business should be. 1t has
already demonstrated the many adj
vantages of it's policy, and to the flu
ture will be left the gathering of the
harvest sown. Caldwell is indeed to
be congratulated on having in this,
the largest flour milling plant in
Idaho, and one of the largest in the
Pacific Northwest Truly this will be
the main factor in making Canyon
and adjoining counties the breadbasket
of southwestern Idaho and southeast
ern Oregon.
A 100 horse power electric motor
will set the wheels to whirling in this
mill and 40 horse power electric mo-
tor will drive the elevator and feed
department. This Company will
wholesale grain and seeds as we'll as
flour.
