BROWN BROS’ ROLLER MILLS
IN PERFECT RUNNING ORDER
[Welland Tribune, 28 August 1885]
Brown Bros’ Flouring Mills have been refitted throughout and furnished with twelve sets of rolls of the well-known Ellison manufacture, Milwaukee; also four purifiers, six reels (scalping), two centrific reels, bran duster, two wheat scourers and a separator, all except the rolls from the Geo. T. Smith Mfg. Co., Stratford. The roller process and its results are almost too well known to require explanation. The first roll merely cracks the grain. From this it is passed through the respective rolls and machinery, until the product is turned out as the very finest “patent process” flour made, the residue being made into the several grades of flour and feed known to commerce. These mills are fitted with the most modern and improved engine, weighing and packing processes and machinery throughout, with a capacity from 100 barrels of flour a day upward. The rolls and machinery have been put in under the foremanship of Mr. Geo. T. Skene; and was started on Monday, and works exceptionally smoothly and satisfactorily for new machinery. The grade of flour turned out is pronounced strictly first-class; fully the equal of that produced by any roller mill in Canada, without exception. The church opposite has been leased for a storehouse and is now the receptacle of a large quantity of wheat. Messrs. Brown Bros. contemplates connecting it with their mill, by a frameway which will prove a great advantage.
The mill will give steady employment to six men when worked to full capacity, besides affording a local market for grain, a much needed desideratum, as farmers largely do their trading where they sell their wheat. It must therefore be of material advantage to the town, and we trust it will prove equally remunerative and satisfactory to its enterprising proprietors. The firm now advertise to pay Thorold and St. Catharines prices for wheat, and are taking in large quantities.
