Reprinted from Pedigree Pointers, Vol. XVIII, No. 3, Spring 1996
This profile originally appeared in the March 1903 Portage
County Gazette.
The Jackson Milling Co. is doing a large and satisfactory business. Their
plant is admirably equipped for the work, the mill at Stevens Point occupying
a four story stone and frame structure furnished with all the most modern machinery
for the best flour making, with the utmost convenience and economy of arrangement.
They manufacture hard wheat flour, made from Dakota hard spring wheat, which
is shipped to them direct. Their fine flours, of which they make two special
brands, are known as "Gold Crown" and "Rosebud." They have
no superior, and their maintained high quality and the firm's reputation for
square dealing has established for them an extensive and most substantial business.
Their special brand of rye flour is "White Rye," which has a high
reputation throughout the northwest. The Jackson Milling Co. also have several
other brands that possess an enviable reputation, and wherever they have been
allowed an initial trial they are always on the grocer's list for a second
order. This company also manufactures a breakfast food that is unexcelled in
purity. Besides the North Star mill at Stevens Point, the Jackson Milling Co.
conducts a mill at Amherst, Wis. In addition to manufacturing flour, this company
also deals extensively in grain and feed. Under the able and judicious management
of Mr. H. H. Pagel, the mill here is daily increasing its volume of business,
and it runs full time both day and night.
