| TEXT | The Iron City Flour Mills were established in 1874 by the present proprietors, who removed to this city from Wooster, Ohio, where they had for four years previous been engaged in the same line of business. Their works at the corner of 3Sth street and A. V. R.R. are fitted up with all the latest approved macliinery, and are as complete as any in the United States. Three large boilers and a 100-horse power engine furnish the motive power, and the mills have a
capacity of 200 barrels per diem. The main building is 100x120 feet, and 13 hands are constantly employed, the monthly
pay-roll averaging about $500. They manufacture a superior quality of flour by a patent processs, and the reputation
of their brands extends through Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, where their trade is principally located. The firm carries a stock of about 60.000, and their annual sales reach 150.000. Their flour is noted for its general excellence, and meets with a ready sale. The members of the firm are gentlemen of experience in the business, and are
active, energetic and thorouglily reliable business men. Their mills are a credit to the city, and deserve a prominent
position among that class of manufactories in a review of the business interests of Pittsburgh. Mr. David Whitmyre
was born in Lawrence Co., Pa., in 1830, from there went to Ohio, when a young man, being raised on a farm, on which
he worked until about 25 years of age, when he engaged in the milling business at Wooster, Ohio, afterwards removing
to this city. He is a gentleman of high character and respectability. He has charge of the mill as general manager.
Tho. Brungard, born in Ohio in 1841, was also raised on a farm. He engaged in Mercantile business for six years at
New Middletown, Ohio, from there to Wooster in milling business, and from there to this city. He is the general business financial manager of the mills. |
