years ! had ground coffee or thai
mil. in years gone ny. the good wife
had done The same. Through lis
hopper had passed enough coffee tha-
II all collected together IN one pibH
would bring . neat sun o. money.
Bur the old mill hao vorn out, il
had served It's days o. usefulness. It's
grinding was SLOW and tedious and
more than ths-, coffee nov comes a.
rya,iy ground. The Old mill Was OF
no earthly Use excep as q souvenir

in the scrap pile. v-ns-s il will soon
De covered with Other scraps, also
