FLOUR IS
FAMOUS
WiIkins-Rogers Milling Co. Up
holds Georgetown's Reputa-
ton as Flour Center

Time was when Georgetown was
the chief flour making city OF
America, and although that time
has passed, the National Capital -
still known far and wide as the
place where one of the highest
GRADES of flour is produced.
The reputation Of Georgetown as
q fIour-making center, Is still up
held by the wilkins Rogers Milling
Company which operates gigantic,
sanitary and impressive factory at
1851 X street northwest, where the
famous Washington Flour is manu-
9Actured and several well known
brands Of corn meal are produced.
One Mill Survived.
when the old Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal was built from George
town to Cumberland Nd, in the
early part OF the last century, 1t
Was one of the main arteries OF
commerce. to the west. The FER
tile fields OF Maryland raised large
quantities Of wheat as they do to-
day and most of 1t came to market
by way of the canal. As conse-
quence, Georgetown became an ac-
tive milling center and from 1851
20 1850 In6T0 were SCNCA AAA-AAS -
operation. Gradually, however, one
after another shccumbed to west
arm competition until only the mill
Of George w. Cissel was left. This
mill was burned in 1912 and was
immediately rebuilt by the Ctssel
Company.
IN 1915 the new plant was pur-
chased by the Wilkins-Rogers Mill
me Company, consisting OF II. L.
wilkins and s. II. Rogers. both OF
whom virtually grew up IN the
flour-malxing business, their parents
having been engaged in 1t before
them. Because Of their wide ex-
perience in flour making, and the
popularity OF their products en-
largement OF the plant was necessi-
tated by the growth OF the business
end new concrete grain elevators
and storage warehouses were added,
increasing the storage about 100000
bushels.
A Model MIN.
In July, 1922, the wilkins Rogers
plant was totally destroyed by fire.
The ashes had scarcely grown cold
before work OF constructing a new
and fireproof factory was begun.
As a result, a seven story, rein
forced concrete building, as near fire
proof as it is humanity possible to
make it, now stands upon the site

Makes Other Products.
Washington flour, however, Is
only one Of the products Of the
wilkins Rogers Milling Company.
Among the ethers are Indian Head
and Arlington Brand Corn Meal.
These brands sell at q premium
higher than the usual market price
in many cities because Of its ex-
ceptional quality and flavor. Both
Washington Flour and the two
brands OF cornmeal are better
known outside Of Washington than
in the National Capital, but their
popularity in their native city ID
steadily on the increase. and more
and more dealers find 1t advan-
tageous and profitable to handle
these Washington-made products.
The fact that the Will1ins-Rogers
Milling Company has It's own freight
siding is conveniently located with
regard to the superior quality wheat
markets and operates it's machinery
by waterpower, makes for q reduc-
ton in overhead expense and pro-
duction cost. This economy. Is
passed on to the retail dealer and
ultimate consumer, which means that
Washingtonians can buy a superior
homemade product for less.
The Wilkins-Rogers Milling Com
pany produces on an average OF 400
barrels OF flour every day in the
year that the plant is operated.
More than 1000 bushels OF corn
meal also are produced each day.

Business

Back Of every business there
is an interesting story, but few
Washingtonians perhaps, know
the unique history Of the Sani-
tary Carpet and Rug Cleaning
Company, at 419 New Jersey
avenue, Of which Robert L. Pyle
is the proprietor.
This business originated in
Richmond, Va, having been
founded by A. J. Pyle, the
present proprietor's father. The
founder Of the business was q
Confederate soldier and his
faded gray suit was his best.
He decided to dye it black and
made such q good job Of it
that other Confederate soldiers
brought their gray suits to him
to have the color changed. In
this the Pyle dyeing business
was started. For many years
