FLOUR MILLS SOLD

And Little Wolf will Experience a Boom

E.W. Allen’s B.B.B. Flour company, of San Jose, Cal., has just closed a deal for the purchase of the flour mills at Little Wolf whereby the company takes immediate possession and will at once begin improving the property. This company manufactures several brands of self-rising flour, which is sold in packages, and a large trade on the Pacific coast has been built up, which is so rapidly extending eastward that it was desired to establish a milling plant and factory at some central point where cheap power could be had. Learning that the mills at Little Wolf were for sale, after several weeks’ correspondence with the agents, A.L. Hutchinson & Son of Weyauwega, Mr. Allen arrived there Thursday morning, and after making a personal inspection of the property was so well pleased with the prospects and the abundance of cheap water power, that he immediately closed a deal for its purchase, took possession and placed Mr. Booth, the present miller, in charge as superintendent. A.L. Hutchinson will look after the interests of the company. Mr. Allen left for home via St. Paul and Seattle, Saturday evening.

The county has just completed a $7,000 concrete bridge at that point, and this change in the milling interests is destined to make a thriving hamlet of Little Wolf.
