THE GEORGE T. SMITH MIDDLINGS PURIFIER COMPANY. All the machines or "middlings purifiers" of this company are made at Jackson. This company has a capital of $1,000,000, and is sending its " purifiers " to all parts of the United States. William D. Thompson is president and Charles K. Knickerbocker general manager of the company. The so-called " patent flour " manufactured by mills using this process has become very popular with all housekeepers, and most mills of large capacity are now compelled to use " purifiers " in order to compete in the sale of flour in the markets with any degree of success. The demand for these machines is building up one of the most important manufacturing interests in the city.
FLOURING MILLS.
There are three flouring and one custom mill in the city. The flouring mills are of the first class, and can manufacture one thousand barrels of flour per day. They are usually run to the extent of their power, and the manufacture of flour is a very important item in the business of the city.
