New Three Run Mill in Terre Haute.
JONES’ MILLS, Terre Haute, Ind., May 20, ’72.
NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--
_Gentlemen_:--I would answer to your letter of inquiry and say that your
oil bush, self-tramming driving irons are the things that have long been
wanted to do perfect milling. The burrs, spindles, bolting cloths,
shafting, gearing, and all the works you sent and made for me to
complete my mill of three run of stones can’ be surpassed, and I invite
all parties wishing to build to call and examine, knowing they will give
you the preference.
Yours, truly,
C. B. JONES.
18 inch Plantation Mill in Illinois.
EBERLY, Effingham Co., Ill., March 26, ’72.
NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--
_Sirs_:--We received the mill and sent the balance by express due on it
as agreed. We have tried it in making meal, feed, &c., and I believe we
can grind faster and better of corn and feed than you said in your
circular and letter. You do not rate their capacity enough. I think you
could sell more if you did. I did not see or write to any of those you
referred me to, I never broached or questioned your integrity or
business; the question was simply on what terms you would sell me the
mill, as regards payments, as there are many who sell on partial
payments, this was all.
Yours, truly,
HENRY TRAVER.
Custom 17 Miles, and Pass Four Other Mills.

May 12, 1872.
NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--
_Gents_:--We have concluded to write how our mills work, supposing you
would be glad to hear of the success of your work. A great many
practical men have been here since we started up, and they all say with
us that it beats anything they ever saw. One mill near us has entirely
stopped for the want of business since we have got established. It is of
the old style heavy gear and large stones. Our custom trade averages
over 1,000 bushels per month, and we buy wheat to keep up our demand for
flour; we warrant every pound of flour, and so far not one complaint;
our works, all complete, that we bought of you, give the very best
satisfaction; our wheat is smutty here, but your cleaning machinery
meets the case exactly, and our flour is clear as the most particular
inspector could ask. It is no uncommon occurrence to get custom grinding
from a certain district 17 miles from here where they have to come by
four other mills. No more at present.
