SHANK MILLING COMPANY

The Shank Milling Company, Incorporated, was
organized in 1910 with the following officers: H. D.
Shank, President; R. W. Kime, Vice President;
John E. Shank, Treasurer; W. S. Shank, Secretary.

Their mill is equipped with a full line of machinery
for making one hundred barrels of flour, six
hundred bushels of meal, and twenty tons of feed
daily, and they enjoy a large local and shipping
trade. The latest and most improved equipment
with a large number of special machines are employed
throughout this ideal mill, and expert flour

makers carefully guard the progress of milling from
the moment the wheat first enters the mill until it
comes forth in a finished flour product, which is
equal to the best on any market and superior to most
local made flour.

They make the well-known brands of "Old Dominion"
and "Valley Cream" flour, and "Pearl
Meal," "Purity Stock Feed," and are dealers in corn,
oats, daisy middlings, and all kinds of feed.

During the two years in which the Shank Milling
Company has been in existence a most enviable
reputation for high-grade products has been established.
The firm is composed of men of unquestioned
business ability, and the town of Salem regards
the enterprise in a most favorable light.
