excellent flour, turned out a bettei
luallty than thlsi fall.
The , Enterprise mill Is as old as
the town. That is, it was started
about the same time the town was,
but Its equipment is new and up-to-date,
no better in Oregon. All the
latest Improved appliances for mak
tng the best flour are found In the
