Among the substantial and pro-
sress We business establishments OF
the city none have a stronger pre-
cedenoe or is better known than the
John W. Bishop Milling Company.
which was founded in 1897. Mr.. Bish-
Cd was born in Preston county, w.
va, and his first venture was in the
wholesale grocery business IN 1872.
In this particular line he prospered
and conducted it with such success
that in 1897 he opened a milling bust
ness alongide Of his grocery estab-
Hshments, and t mas grown and ex-
banded until it has become recognized
throughout the country as one Of the
strongest ans most ably managed OF
any similar business.
At the beginning the output of the
concern was 125 barrels of -four
daily. 1t was gradually increased I'M
til today the output exceeds $50 bar
rels daily. This increase was made
imperative because of the superior
quality of the various kinds Of -four
manufactured. Along with the in
crease of the output there has been
a gradual increase in the force EN-
ployed. In 1897, when the milling
busiess was inaugurated there We're
employed II people. but at the pres
The present plant of the company
consists of buildings, namely: two
large grain elevators, flour storage
and the mill building. A new flour
storage has been added which has
capacity of 1000 barrels. The capac-
itv of the grain elevators have been
increased from $4,000 bushels to 3d.
600 bushels, and at the present time
the annual output of the company eX-
ceeds $4,000 barrels of flour.
The plant is equipped with a hun
dred horse power equipment The
machinery is of the latest and most
modern make The shipping facih-
ties are the best to be found any
where in the country, having direct
connection with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, thus insuring splendid
accommodations and guaranteeing
quick dispatch in shipments to all
po-nts as well as in the receiving OF
shipments.
Berkeley county wheat is regarded
everywhere as being of the finest
quality. whenever it has been ex-
limited it has never failed 10 be
among the winners. In 1876 it was
awarded first prize at the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia.
Knowing the superiority of Berke-
lev county wheat buyers have
advantage of the opportunity to Sc
cure their flour from the Bishop mills
and in every instance those VINO
have made purchases have been
pleased and when the next opportuh-
itv came to replenish their stock the
orders instead of being duplicated
have been increased.
Jefferson county wheat has also
proved favorite with this mill and
annually Hundreds of bushels have
been shipped here and manufactured
into flour.
The productx of this widely known
mill are sold throughout West Wiz
ginia Maryland and virginia where
they have been known for years ana
appreciated by large and growing
trade. Here is manufactured the eel

Now, that means gold enough to

your little brother for that sum I
shall be able to buy everything in

No, papa answered the little

Such is the situation confronting Cook county.
One of the foremost physicians of Chicago said
that in a conversation with the superintendent of the
Cook county hospital few years ago, he asked Doc
tor, how many of the patients in the Cook county
hospital are here because of drnk?' The superin-
tendent turned him savagey and said, Don't you
know there would be no Cook county hospital if it
were not for drink" The superintendent may not
have meant exactly that, but his way Of stating
emphatically that drink the great contributing
cause which filled the Cook county hospital to over
flowing.
If it were not for drink, the millions of dollars
being poured by Cook county into a hospital,
with other bond issues staring it in the face would not
be necessary.
When will the people of Cook county understand
that business proposition the saloon is costing
them least two dollars for every dollar paid in Ii
censes? And, by the way none Of the license money
goes to the benefit of the county treasury.
