_Gentlemen_:--It has now been ten months since we started our mill,
purchased of you, and you will, no doubt, be glad to hear that it more
than fills your representations of its good qualities. We make flour
that brings the highest price, and have competition of other mills at
almost our doors. The mills, bolt, and all in our opinion excels in
style and finish all other mills we have seen, and one of our firm has
owned and used for many years several of the leading kinds now
advertised and for sale. The temper and sharpness of the burrs are very
good. With our power it takes near one cord of wood to make 20 barrels
of flour. The quality and yield of the flour cannot be surpassed by any
mill, as we take it all out, leaving the offal clean. If we need any
thing more in your line, will let you know at once, because you have so
far fully met our wants.
Yours, truly,
BOLTON & WOOD.
Would not Exchange their Mill for anything Known.

MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--
_Gentlemen_:--You will please find enclosed four hundred and eleven
dollars, the amount of note and interest of the note we gave you, due on
the 30th inst., which note you will please send us marked paid. Our mill
is still doing a splendid business. We make the best flour in this
section of the country, and as much to the bushel. We weighed one man’
wheat--19 bushels, then weighed the flour, after taking one-eighth toll,
and made him 41 pounds to the bushel. The burrs and their gearing work
very nicely. To use a common expression, they cannot be beat; would not
exchange them for anything known. We can grind as much in a given time
as any of the large merchant mills; make better flour and as much to the
bushel. We can grind fifteen bushels per hour on either of the wheat
run, and forty bushels of corn on the corn run, with a 20-horse engine,
10 by 16 inch cylinder, and uses about one cord of good wood in ten
hours, for driving one wheat and the corn run. The meal is of even
quality, and well ground. The only fault found with our flour is, one
man says, his “wife set rising in the morning and had to bake bread
before dinner, when flour that she had used heretofore would wait till
after dinner.” This, however, is easily remedied.
Yours, with much respect,
BARNETT, JONES & PUDNEY.
