New Institution at Eleventh

Well Equipped Plant.

The Royal Gorge Milling Company
have recently completed the installa-
tion of an American (Midget) Marvel
Flour mill This mill and its process
of -four making are most interesting.
1t is entirely self-contained and makes
-four in one minute after the wheat

conveyors and the miscellaneous ma
chinery of the old process which one
expects to encounter.
c. F. Williams and w NJ. Newton
are sole owners and proprietors of the
new mill. which located at Eleventh
and Water streets.
The entire plant is most cleanly and
sanitary. In discussing the new plant
Mr.. Newton said:
"The features of the Marvel sys-
tenn of milling are its shortness of
duration and extreme sentleness
These points are absolutely essential
for the production of really good -four

and gluten cells of the wheat berry

more digestible and displays the most
delicious and palatable nature-flavor.
This delightful flavor is not present in
flour made by any other mill.
-'Our mill is open at all times to our
friends whom We cordially invite to in
spect the new plant. We are very
proud of it and shall be glad to show
them how -four is made the modern
Marvel way.
we have been busy from the be-
ginning and are Pleased and encour-
aged by this substantial evidence OF
the public desire to patronize home

taxes, The money we spend away
from home stavs away TO benefit some

I'VE ask for the cooperation and
patronage of our home people and

the best -four it is possible to make" "
