PHELPS BROS. NEW ROLLER MILL

[Welland Telegraph, 25 December 1891]

Messrs. Phelps’ Bros have now had their new roller milling machinery running for a couple of weeks with most satisfactory results. Three double sets of the Willford light running rollers,with purifiers, separators, etc., have been placed in position, giving the mill a capacity of 40 barrels per day. The machinery is all of the latest and most approved pattern, and is arranged with a view to economy in both time and space. The firm is now so crowded with work that a good deal of “overtime” is necessary to keep up with the orders. Low water has been one of the difficulties which the firm have had to contend with, but during the past few days less trouble has been experienced in this connection. Mr. James Greenlaw, of St. Catharines, an experienced roller miller, is in charge of the machinery, which is turning out the finest brands of flour upon the improvements they have made, and the evidence they give of prosperity.
