Three grades of flour are made, “Royal bigh patent, being their. best grade, and “Queen of Butler” their second | grade. W.E. Haller, head miller, has had years of experience at the busivess, and comes with the best of recommendations. The flour now turned out by this mill is second to none iv the state, and to those who are skeptical we ask you to give their best grade a test and you will want no other flour. We have given it a thorough trial and recommend it as being equal if not superior to any flour we have ever bought on the market in this city. Bring Your Eggs to J. E.
