WINGHAM Plour Mills There are three things necessary to make good Flour: Good wheat, a good miller,and good machinery. We have these three in our mill. All the Manitoba Wheat we nee is No. 1 ; this is,what "Five Lilies" Flour is made from ; the strength is not lessened any in 'Five Lilies' by electrical or any other process in order to make it white, but it is white, pure and healthy in its own natural strength, So if you wish the best Manitoba Flour be sure to get the "Wive Lilies;" do not be put off with any other. If your dealer does not keep it, there are plenty of others who do. Our "Star" Flour is very pop- ular. We believe it, is the BEST FAMILY FLOUR on the market to- day, as it has the qualities for both bread and pastry. Give your next order for "Star" and you will be satisfied. -.
