Chapter IV: Part 4

Under date of March 11th, 1872, they say, after ordering another flour bolt, “That you sent us a splendid pair of wheat burrs; they grind so rapid that we find we need the other bolt to do the work. I think we have the best mill in the State or any other State. The machinery works well, beyond my expectation. On the one run of wheat stones we can make with the new bolt 6 to 7 one hundred pound sacks of good flour per hour. Ship as soon as you can with the numbers of cloth as describe in your letter. We want to send some lots of fancy flour to St. Louis. Our miller is an old St. Louis miller, and he says with this addition he can compete with any mill in St. Louis or any other place.

“Yours, J. L. WILLIAMS & Co.”

The mill-wright who set up and started this mill, writes from same P. O., dated March 17, ’72, “That I have to write you that this mill beats any mill of its size that I ever saw. We started the wheat mill last Saturday in the afternoon, and run it three-and-a-half hours, and ground 65 bushels of wheat, and could have ground more if we could have bolted it. Everything runs like a top; they will send you a specimen of their flour as soon as they get some sacks, then you can see what kind of flour it makes; 30 bushels per hour for the corn mill is an easy thing, and it does nice even work.

“Respectfully, yours, ALONZO M. COLE.”

WESTFIELD, Clark Co., Illinois, May 11, 1872. MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--

_Gentlemen_:--It has now been ten months since we started our mill, purchased of you, and you will, no doubt, be glad to hear that it more than fills your representations of its good qualities. We make flour that brings the highest price, and have competition of other mills at almost our doors. The mills, bolt, and all in our opinion excels in style and finish all other mills we have seen, and one of our firm has owned and used for many years several of the leading kinds now advertised and for sale. The temper and sharpness of the burrs are very good. With our power it takes near one cord of wood to make 20 barrels of flour. The quality and yield of the flour cannot be surpassed by any mill, as we take it all out, leaving the offal clean. If we need any thing more in your line, will let you know at once, because you have so far fully met our wants.

Yours, truly, BOLTON & WOOD.

Would not Exchange their Mill for anything Known.

NINEVEH, Johnson Co., Ind., Nov. 28, 1867. MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--

_Gentlemen_:--You will please find enclosed four hundred and eleven dollars, the amount of note and interest of the note we gave you, due on the 30th inst., which note you will please send us marked paid. Our mill is still doing a splendid business. We make the best flour in this section of the country, and as much to the bushel. We weighed one man’ wheat--19 bushels, then weighed the flour, after taking one-eighth toll, and made him 41 pounds to the bushel. The burrs and their gearing work very nicely. To use a common expression, they cannot be beat; would not exchange them for anything known. We can grind as much in a given time as any of the large merchant mills; make better flour and as much to the bushel. We can grind fifteen bushels per hour on either of the wheat run, and forty bushels of corn on the corn run, with a 20-horse engine, 10 by 16 inch cylinder, and uses about one cord of good wood in ten hours, for driving one wheat and the corn run. The meal is of even quality, and well ground. The only fault found with our flour is, one man says, his “wife set rising in the morning and had to bake bread before dinner, when flour that she had used heretofore would wait till after dinner.” This, however, is easily remedied.

Yours, with much respect, BARNETT, JONES & PUDNEY.

NINEVEH, Johnson Co., Ind., Oct. 18, 1869. MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--

_Gentlemen_:--We write you in regard to a bolt for rye and buckwheat--wish it to attach to our corn mill. We think a small one will answer, but want it to be of sufficient capacity for the mill, which grinds pretty lively. We have now been running the mills bought of you, since August 23, 1867, two 36-inch for wheat and one 26-inch for corn, bolts, shafting, smutter, &c. We are so crowded with custom work that it is impossible to grind it in six days a week--it may seem strange to you, but it is so. If we had the bolt referred to, we can run all at once, and possibly keep up. Gents, we have proven beyond a doubt to the mill men of this section that your mills beat them all, and can now say that we have effectually dried up all the old style mills in this country, on custom work. We have some customers that come to us twenty-five miles, and pass two other mills on the trip. You will please give us your lowest figures for the bolt complete, with suitable cloth. We have bought Mr. Barnett out.

Yours, truly, JONES & PUDNEY.

One of the Best Smutters and Separators.

WEST ALEXANDRIA, O., Nov. 22, 1869. MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--

I will write you a few lines and tell you something about that Smutter we bought from you. I can truly recommend it to be one of the best Smutters and Separators that I ever run. I have run a good many Smutters, but never run a machine that pleased me as well as this. It does just right in every way; it can’ be beat.

Yours, truly, ABRAHAM WEIMER, Miller. MICHAEL KLINGER, Proprietor.

Mr. Klinger is using one of our No. 1 Richmond Smut and Separating Machines; also, one of our twenty feet Portable Bolts, complete, and one pair of 42-inch new stock burrs. It is an old mill remodeled.

36 Inch Mill Makes Superior Flour.

DANVILLE, Hendricks Co., Ind., Jan. 1, 1869. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--

_Gentlemen_:--New Year’ day, and feeling grateful to you for the complete mill machinery you furnished us, we send you our thanks in the shape of an acknowledgment of the same, and hope that all mills you may put up hereafter may prove as satisfactory as ours. Our mills are two buildings--one for sawing and one for the flour mill. We have two run of burrs, one for wheat, 36 inches, on which we can grind from eight to twelve bushels per hour; also, one 30 inch corn, under-runner, and grinds from twelve to fifteen bushels per hour; both are pulley mills, with your late improvements. Our flour is of superior quality, and therefore gives general satisfaction. Our engine is of ample power, and with one cord of good wood per day of 10 hours, and 50 lbs. of steam, runs the mills up to their full capacity. We have a tubular boiler, 14 feet long, with forty-six flues. Hoping this may find a welcome, we subscribe ourselves,

Gratefully, yours, CHAMBERS & PIERSON.

42 Inch, 36 Inch and 26 Inch Burrs.

NORTH STARR MILLS, Warren, Huntington Co., Ind., January 6, 1869. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--

_Gentlemen_:--June 2d, 1868, our mills, bought of you, were shipped at your depot, and your man assisted us in setting up, with two carpenters. We started up on the 26th day of June, 1868, must say we had a very successful start. Ours is a geared mill and consists of two French burrs of the following dimensions: One 42-inch mill and one 36-inch mill, former for wheat, latter for corn. Our bolt is 20 feet long, 33-inch reel. All is easily run by 50 pounds of steam. 11 by 22-inch cylinder engine. We use 1½ cords of wood in 12 hours for both run, to full capacity. Average grinding capacity is 12 bushels per hour, with a yield of from 40 to 42 pounds of merchantable flour that will bear inspection in any market. Any one wishing to purchase mill-machinery can see a good sample of your mills by paying our mill a visit.

Yours, truly, SMETHURST & BRO.

Under date of December 1, 1869, Messrs. Smethurst & Bro. order a third run of burrs.

N., M. & Co.

NORTH UNION, Ind., Sept. 23d, 1872. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.,

_Gents_:--Supposing you would like to learn how our mill is doing, I pen you a few lines. You doubtless thought strange of me not sending for your mill-wright, but we employ a miller who professes to be a mill-wright, miller and engineer, and in three weeks from the time he commenced we were running. The mills, bolt, scales, and all perform well; we grind ten bushels of wheat per hour while running the other machinery with 30 lbs. of steam, and 10 lbs. more will drive the corn burr too; we don’ pretend to raise steam above this. The miller put the wheat burrs in flouring order in a short time and put it down and made prime flour at the start; we have made 38½ lbs. of flour from 60 lbs. of wheat after it was tolled one-eighth. So far the mill gives perfect satisfaction. Your notice concerning note was received; I shall be prepared to meet it when due.

Respectfully, Yours, JAS. H. ARMANTROUT.

This mill is located in Montgomery County, near Crawfordsville, and composed of two run of stones, one 42 inch old quarry for wheat, and one 30 inch under runner for corn, in combined husk, also one 18 feet double reel bolt, smutter, &c. The power being a 10×20 cylinder engine, and two flue boiler 42 inches in diameter and 20 feet long.

Three Feet Under-Runner Mill in LaFayette, Ind.

UNION MILLS, LaFayette, Ind., April 18, 1872. MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--

_Gentlemen_:--Having had one of your corn mills in use about six months, we take pleasure in saying that it gives good satisfaction in every particular. We can make about 30 bushels of meal per hour on this mill. The quality of the meal being superior to and more evenly ground than any we have been able to make heretofore on other mills. The sharpness and the temper of the burrs is certainly superior to any that we have ever seen or used, and we cheerfully recommend your mills to any one wishing to purchase a good article.

Very truly, yours, DAGGETT, MARTIN & Co. ALFRED GAMBLE, head miller.

New Three Run Mill in Terre Haute.

JONES’ MILLS, Terre Haute, Ind., May 20, ’72. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--

_Gentlemen_:--I would answer to your letter of inquiry and say that your oil bush, self-tramming driving irons are the things that have long been wanted to do perfect milling. The burrs, spindles, bolting cloths, shafting, gearing, and all the works you sent and made for me to complete my mill of three run of stones can’ be surpassed, and I invite all parties wishing to build to call and examine, knowing they will give you the preference.

Yours, truly, C. B. JONES.

18 inch Plantation Mill in Illinois.

EBERLY, Effingham Co., Ill., March 26, ’72. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--

_Sirs_:--We received the mill and sent the balance by express due on it as agreed. We have tried it in making meal, feed, &c., and I believe we can grind faster and better of corn and feed than you said in your circular and letter. You do not rate their capacity enough. I think you could sell more if you did. I did not see or write to any of those you referred me to, I never broached or questioned your integrity or business; the question was simply on what terms you would sell me the mill, as regards payments, as there are many who sell on partial payments, this was all.

Yours, truly, HENRY TRAVER.

Custom 17 Miles, and Pass Four Other Mills.

MONITOR MILLS, Monitor, Tippecanoe Co., Ind., May 12, 1872.

NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--

_Gents_:--We have concluded to write how our mills work, supposing you would be glad to hear of the success of your work. A great many practical men have been here since we started up, and they all say with us that it beats anything they ever saw. One mill near us has entirely stopped for the want of business since we have got established. It is of the old style heavy gear and large stones. Our custom trade averages over 1,000 bushels per month, and we buy wheat to keep up our demand for flour; we warrant every pound of flour, and so far not one complaint; our works, all complete, that we bought of you, give the very best satisfaction; our wheat is smutty here, but your cleaning machinery meets the case exactly, and our flour is clear as the most particular inspector could ask. It is no uncommon occurrence to get custom grinding from a certain district 17 miles from here where they have to come by four other mills. No more at present.

REDENBO, FRETZ & BRO.

In a letter dated December 19, 1871, they say: Our custom has increased to from 90 to 145 bushels per day; doing this and our own grinding on the one run of 3 feet stones, keeps it going steady twenty hours out of the twenty-four. We have heard of you starting a new mill at Colburn, some 12 miles from us, and that it was not doing well; if this is the case it is in the bad management of it, as your mills, run with any degree of care, will grind as satisfactorily as any mills can. We have not had any expenses in repairing since we started, now about one year; do not try to fill orders for flour in LaFayette, nor could we if we tried.

R., F. & BRO.

Under date of February 22d, they write:--The note came to hand in due time, and properly cancelled. The custom grinding will reach about 4,000 bushels this month; how will that do? Mr. G. L. Kemp of Frankfort was here, he says their mill is doing well and giving satisfaction. Would like to see your establishment again; will call on you some time before long if nothing prevents.

Yours, REDENBO, FRETZ & BRO.

Self-Tramming Mill Irons.

FOUNTAIN MILLS, Logansport, Ind., March 28, 1872.

MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--_Gents_:--In regard to your burrs and all other work I purchased of you, I will say it is the best I ever saw or used. The stones were in both standing and running balance; that is the first run I ever started that was so to perfection. I haven’ much to say, except when I want mill works, you are sure to get my orders. You have so far satisfied me in quality and prices. I will say I never dealt with fairer dealing men than you, gentlemen.

Yours, truly, JACOB MYERS.

Under date of April 18th, 1872, Mr. Myers writes again.

FOUNTAIN MILLS, 3 miles S. E. from Logansport.

_Sirs_:--I thank you a thousand times for making me acquainted with the self-tramming driving irons; they are the best improvement on mill burrs I ever saw. The spindle is always in perfect tram with the face of the runner, and it is no trouble at all to test and keep it in running balance. The stone keeps in better face and I do not have to dress my burrs half as much. It is just what we have been needing. I can make a bigger yield and clearer flour and grind more per horse power. It is astonishing how smooth the stone runs and evenly it grinds. In the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, by actual count, I have run and managed twenty-seven run of stones, and I have not stated to you anything but what I can show here to any one. I sent you Mr. Ringer, or he probably would not have found you out, I believe he ordered a pair of 42-inch stones with the self-tram irons. It gives me pleasure to recommend a good job.

Yours, as ever, JACOB MYERS.

Three 30 Inch Pulley Mills.

WHITESTOWN, Ind., Jan. 11, 1869.

NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--_Gentlemen_:--The mills we purchased of you are two run, of 30-inch upper-runner pulley mills, iron back and balance, for wheat--and one under-runner 30-inch mill for grinding corn, rye, buckwheat, &c. Our power is a 20 foot boiler, 42 inches diameter, and engine 8 inch cylinder and 20 inch stroke, speed 150 revolutions per minute; speed of mills 300 revolutions. The average grinding is 7 bushels of wheat per hour to each wheat run--and of good wheat we make our customers 40 pounds of flour to the bushel after tolling--the quality, our customers say, is the best in the market. We run the three mills, two smut machines, of your make, screen and three reels with 65 pounds of steam, and use from 1½ to 2 cords of wood per day.

Respectfully, yours, OSBORN & DYE.

Under date of September 6, 1869, in a letter from the same mill, they say, “Our mills are doing well, making 40 pounds of good merchantable flour to the bushel, after tolling one-eighth.”

N., M. & Co.

* * * * *

We forbear to extend the publication of the large amount of similar testimony in our possession, as these statements from many points of the country widely distant from each other, indicate the various conditions under which our mills are placed and operated. We hope they will be found useful and instructive.
