Company With Unlimited Capital
Takes Over Menagh Mill Mr..
Fitch Experienced Miller.
AS has been announced previously,
the Menagh mill has been sold to the
Doud Milling company of Manning.
The Monitor of Manning gives brief
history of this excellent company,
which we are privileged to publish. AS
will be seen the company has been in
the milling business for many years
and have abundant capital for carry
ing on the business. The Monitor
says:
while the constituency of the
Doud Milling company is generally
known in this community and no
word of commentator or explanation
lis necessary in its behalf, yet as CON-
parative strangers in our neighboring
county seat, it may not be out Of
place to give a short history of the
main stockholders of this concern. :.
Its present officers and chief
stockholders are r. G.. Sutherland and
H. w. Pollock.
Cord as he is Familiarity known,
is the present cashier OF the First
National bank, one of the very sound
est financial institutions of western
Iowa, and a bank of which Manning
and vicinity may be proud, containing
deposits as shown by it's statements in
excess of $60O,000.OO. He has worked
in this bank since 1893 and has been
actually busy man as cashier since
the retirement of o. Z. Dutton, more
than two years ago. While not active
ly engaged in the management of the
milling business, Mr.. Sutherland's
sound financial Judgment has contrib
uted largely to it's present success,
while his ability as banker is too yell
known in this part of the state to need
any commentator from us.
II. w. Pollock, secretary and active
manager of the Doud Milling company,
has been a resident of Manning since
|1SS8, excepting a period of about four
Years during which time he was en-
gagged in the banking business in Hi
nois and Iowa, coming to Manning as
active manager OF the Milwaukee ele-
vator, then owned by James Pollock.
He has been engaged in the grain and
milling business practically all his
life, except the interval before stated,
and while he does not pretend to be
an expert miller, he has acquired such
a thorough knowledge of the business
as manager that he is fully competent
to act in that capacity, were not his
other duties so heavy as to preclude
this.
'sMr. II. L. Fitch, also stakeholder
in this company, and head miller at
this point, has been engaged in. the
milling business here and elsewhere
for fifteen years and goes from this
point as manager at DenisOn with all
of these years of successful experience
back of him.
THE quality of -four manufactured
by the Doud Milling company is such
that they have been able to success
fully compete with the best brand
manufactured in any mill and it goes
without saying that the quality of the
output of both the local and Denison
plants will be maintained at it's hither-
to high standard.
While it is sometimes out of place
to indulge in unlimited endorsement
yet we feel that the stockholders in
this concern are entitled to great
deal of credit.
They are comparatively young men
and started in the business with
small amount OF capital and with
reasonable amount of business and
have SO successfully added thereto
and increased the same that it became
necessary for them to either erect an
other mill at Manning or buy else
where or lose the sale of car loads OF
their products.
I'VE are informed at this time the
mill is nine car loads behind with their
orders and that within this week an
unsolicited order came to it for more
than one thousand sacks of flour. The
quality Of its -four commends it to
home consumption and precludes the
necessity of our home merchants I'M
porting to supply their trade. The ca
uacity OF their mill at Manning is sew
enty barrels, and that of the Denison
plant is one hundred barrels per day.
and with this addition the company
will no doubt be able TO fill its orders
after getting he new plan in opera
ton. which will be about December list.
"Messrs. Pollock and Sutherland are
also chief stockholders in the Earring
Grain company, and II. w. Pollock
and company, which plants with Doud
Milling company, now own and con-
troll seven elevators and two flour
mills. situated as follows: Two elevat-
crs and a -four mill in each of the
towns of Manning and Denison, one
elevator at Earring, one at Adair and
one at Bagley.
Mr.. Fitch will have personal super
vision over the output of the Denison
plant and Will retain general super
vision of the manufacture in the home
concern and his place as expert miller
will be supplied by George Mehuron, of
Superior, Neb."
