HIGH COMPLIMENT
FOR ELKO FLOUR
Experts Says it is One of the
Best Brands on the
Market

W. W. Pcrcival, manager of the
Lowell Grain and Milling company of
Elko. has good reason to be proud
of the product of his mill. He has
Just received returns from analyses
OF his -four. and he was highly COM
plimcntcd on its quality. II is pro-
nOunccd one of the best manufactured
in the west.
Mr. Percival has been in ElkO nearly
Il year and both locally and on the
ing recognition. and the demand for
them is steadily growing. 1t is only
natural that 1t should be so. for the
best quality of wheat obtainable is
grown in this section, and Mr.. Percival
has installed the most modern manu-
featuring machinery. This coupled
with the fact that he Is recognized as
one of the most expert millmen in the
entire west insures -four and other
products of the finest quality. II is "a
matter worthy of comment that the
! British government has recently
adopted the methods and machinery
employed in the local mill in the max.
! ing of flour.
! Next Saturday MIR. PcrCiyal will
place on the market new product of
his mill. II is known as wheat-rice
flour, and from IL is made the most
delicious and wholesome bread In
many respects it is superior TO bread
made from wheat flour. II is sweeter.
1t keeps much longer, it makes better
toast, and il makes more bread TO the
pound.
The highest skill is required in the
manufacture of this flour, for the
wheat and rice must be ground to a
certain fnencss. otherwise they will
not mix. but will run from each other
VERY much like water and oil. Mr..
Percival tried many experiments be-
fore ne secured a perfect product. He
lis one OF the very few who is placing
on the market this particular prod
uct.
Many local housewives have stated
that the -four from the local mill |!
superior to anything they have eve,
used. Those who have not tried 4
should do SO, for there is no doub
about its excellence, and dollar spen
for local product will stay here
whereas IL II IL sent away II will no

-four consumed, the greater will be
the demand for wheat from ranches o
this community. Consumption of loca
products means greater local develop
