Local Man Believes
He Has Good Field
For Industry Here
GROWTH OF FLOUR BUSINESS
PREDICTED BY BLYDEN-
STEIN MANUFACTURER,

That he may be able to build up
very important local industry is the
belief of H. c Blydenstein, former
manager of the Pendleton Roller
Mills who is engaged in manufacture
ing self-rising flour and a dietary
flour The names Of the products
are Blydensteins Self Rising Pastry
Flour and Blydenstein's Prepared Di-
etary Flour.
The self rising pastry flour is used
for the making of pies, cakes. waf-
files, hot cakes and biscuits, 1t has
already been tried out and found
highly satisfactory, For campers
use, the flour is a great boon as it
may be used by being merely mixed
with water, The pastry flour is not
used in making light bread
At the present time MIR. Blyden-
stein is equipped in moderate way
for the manufacture of his flour but
he hopes in the future to build up an
extensive business, requiring a large
plant The field is open for this bus
iness in the west as such products are
not being manufactured here though
there are number of such plants in
