ROOSTER FLOUR MILLS
ROOSTER FLOUR MILLS.
Beginning operations on February 8, 1879, at Eighteenth and Pine STREETS, Rooster Flour Mills featured many automatic features and only three employees were needed.
The last flour was processed at the mill in 1933 when production was entirely converted to feed processing. The mill burned down on May 12, 1943. The company continued in operations selling equipment needed by farmers.
