A FLOUR MILL
IS AN ASSET
NOltTIl 1'LATTE IS FORTUNATE IX
HAVING SUCH AN' 1NSTI
TUTION. Tho N'orth Plntto Flour Mill Is a
, $100,000 corporation owned entirely
by local capital. Dy saying it is a
$100,000 corporation wo dp not mean
that It is worth that much money. Only
a part of tho $100,000 has boon paid
In and a campaign is on now to sell
some moro of tho capital stock so that
needed enlargements can bo made. All
of tho stock at present 13 owned by the
officers and employees of tho Company
bht it was tho opinion of tho directors
at tho last meeting that it would bo
to tho lnterosts of tho business if a
larger number of people woro stock-
holders. To that end an offering of
stock Is bolng mado at this time. On
account of tho money stringency somo
people who havo wanted to tako stock
in tills concern may not be ablo to do
so now.
The North Platto Mill offors a mar
ket for all local wheat. About twenty
five por cent of tho wheat bought Is up
to tho standard requlrod for tho grade
of flour mado hero. Tho other soven-ty-flvo
per cent Is shipped east. The
rest of tho wheat needed to mako flour
hero is shipped from west. The mill
lias a capacity of 150 barrels a day.
Tho sale of flour locally is not as
largo ns it should bo due to many
causes. If every housowifo would call
for flour mado in Noyth Platto, these
sales would bo very much largor.
Tho local mill Is a source of supply
for all kinds of mill products and all
of thoso aro used locally. Shorts, bran
and feeds of various kinds aro mado
in quantities. This is so important
. that together with furnishing a mar
ket for the farmer, somo cities havo
offered a big bonus to 'mill owners to
get them to placo a mill in that city.,
During ordinary times two men aro
' "nployed by tho local mill, as travel
' 'ig salesmen and they cover all of
' s territory west of hero Into "Wyom
In a conversation with I. C. Car
roll. Manager of the North Platte
Mill, yestorday ho said that ho ex
nects to continue to do business In
North Platto In spite of the fact that
ho has received somo very flattering
Wers toomove.the-inlirtor.otlior lo
calities, "Wo are hero to stay," said
iwr. fnrroll. "and thn fact that we nve
ftlwjivs n few cents above tho veeiilnr
markets In the orices we my for
wheat menus much to tho fanners of
hi vleinilv and is nnnrclntqd by
fhetn."
E. L. Kamsay left this morning for
Elm Creek to spend a few days.
Mr. and Mrs. Guy S.- Popejoy re
turned last evening from Now York
and Chicago where 'they havo boon
purchasing spring merchandise for
the Stylo Shop.
