.Moore spared no expense in buying
his machinery and feels that he has
one of the best and most up-to-date
50-barrel capacity flour mills in the
State. The installation of this mill
should be a great convenience to the
farmers of this section and an incen
tive to them to increase their acreage
of wheat, thereby enabling them to
raise more of their foodstuffs at home
and be farmers in fact as well as in
• - -
The flour mill is only one depart
ment of Mr. Moore’s excellent plant
which also consists of a modem gin
nery, a feed mill, a meal and grits
mill and a pea and heap sheller. Mr.
Moore is one of the best all-round
mill mechanics in this section, havmg
had marty years’ experience irr the
leading oil mills in this State and
Georgia, and is, therefore, in a po
sition to keep his plant operating
with a minimum of break-downs. He
invites the public to call and give his
mill “the once-over.”
