Sfntc Historical Society Jtorth tm-WMm 9tfame. TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., SEPTEMBER 25, 1914. No. 71 mat w4l4''i'4' C? SECURES LEASE OF THE IDDINGS' MILL LEXINGTON MILL & ELEVATOR CO. TAKES POSSESSION TODAY. Mill nt Lexington Itnrncd Monday and Company Needs North l'lnttc Mill to Fill Orders. Tho Lexlgton Mill & Elevator Co., whose mill and elevator at Lexing ton burned last Monday morning, se cured yesterday afternoon a leaso of tho mill of tho North Platte Mill & Grain Co. The lcasa runs until July 1st, 1915. The details of the ne gotiation were closed by J.W . Burg ner, of Grand Island, who came here to represent the Lexington company. Possession will l3 given today, and the company announces its intention of sending its millers to this city at once and the mill will run to its full capacity night and day in order to fill the orders placed with the mill that burned. Tho machinery of fly local mill is of the best and the quality of tho flour which the company will manufacture here will be up to tho high standard which marked the product of the Lexington mill. Tho Lexington Mill & Grain Co., of which E. M. F. Leilang is the prin cipal owner and Arthur Leilang man ager, is one of the heaviest grain buyers int he state, operating thirteen elevators in western and central Ne braska. It therefore follows that at no time will tho local mill be short of grain though running at its full ca pacity night and day. The Tribune is glad that this leaso has been made, for it will for a time at least put North Platte on on tlv? map as a flour producing town. And perhaps ths lease may result in the purchase of the mill by the Lexington company. v Iter. Cram Itcturncd. Hev. I?3nj.
