RIVERSIDE MILLS

[Welland Tribune, 4 April 1902]

              “Riverside Mills” is the very pretty and appropriate name given to Cooper’s new mills here. We understand the name was the choice of Mr. Cooper’s father.

             Mr. John Walker of Chatham, a leading milling expert, has been here the past week inspecting the mill. Mr. Walker worked for Mr. Cooper’s father some 25 years ago, soon after he came from his native heather.

             The flouring apparata are about all running, and supplementary machinery for buckwheat, cracked wheat, etc. is being placed. When all is done, the Riverside Mill will be one of the best and most up-to-date mills in every respect for their size in the world.
