sometimes tends to Blur the
sharp outlines of the past
and make everything seem

there is one area hi which ..
the 'lgood old days" is worth
all the nostalgia we can

This is the field of prices.
Mrs. Jack Boyes, secretary -
treasurer of the Public Util-

evidence of this recently in
a bill sent to a Detroit resi-
dent for a Model A Ford,
purchased in 1929. The bill,
which was with articles pur-

Bayfield, includes the fol-

Topnotch Feeds 0pn
New Wroxeter Mill
Topnotch Feeds Limited op-
ened a new mill at Wroxeter
Saturday afternoon.
•During the afternoon hun-
dreds of farmers visited the
plant and joined staff repres-
entatives on tours of the mill.
In the evening the large build-
ing was crowded as visitors took
part in dancing.
This newest mill of Topnotch
Feeds embodies all of the fea-
tures which the company feel
are required in today's rapidly
changing farm scene. The mill
has been built with the idea of
saving time on the farm,
through bulk handling of all
grains and most other commodi-
ties and concentrates. The mill
is able to handle 16 different
batches of feed at one time, so
that no time need be lost at
the mill. 'Bulk deliveries can
be arranged either by farmers
picking up feed in bulk or hav-
ing Topnotch do the delivering
in their bulk truck, which can
elevate feed to a height of 80
feet.
•
Topnotch Feeds operate feed
mills at Kingston, Dundas, Mof-
fat, Stratford, Dorchester, Mil-
verton, Seaforth and Brussels.
The company has been in the,
feed business for the past 15
years, with the first mill being
built- in Milverton in 1948.
This newest mill was built by
Strong -Scott Ltd., with W,-.„
Lehman of Delhi. coxitract'ng
the mill construction The new.
mill is 'built entirely of steel
and concrete to eliminate any
fire hazards, reduce insurance
costs and decrease maintenance
expenses.
When choosing the site for
this new mill, which is built
in the country, it was the opin-
ion of company officials that
this area of Western Ontario
will see a continually increas-
ing livestock population as good
farm land closer to heavily
populated areas becomes more
developed for industry and ur-
ban living.
This new Topnotch mill at
Wroxeter will be entirely hydro
operated and contains the lat-
est in milling machinery, all
individually electrically driven.
The mill= has a capacity of 15
tons of feed per shift with a
high speed hammer -mill, oat
roll, molasses mixer and auto-
matic bagging equipment.
There are two dump sinks
available for handling farmers'
grains, so that no holdups at
the mill should be encountered
by farmers bringing their own
grain to the mill for process-
ing.
As well as a , complete line
of Topnotch Feeds, the mill will
handle insecticides, herbicides,
fertilizer, farm fence, seed
grains, forage seeds and mix-
tures, baler and binder twines.
Paul McNally will be the
manager of the mill at Wroxe-
ter. Mr. McNally has been on
sales and service work for the
company in the Hamilton area
for the past three years, follow-
ing graduation from OAC. Mr.
McNally was born and raised
on a farm in the Owen Sound
area. George Metcalf, of the
Wroxeter district, will be hand-
ling sales and service work for
the mill, and Barry Mulvey, who
lives in the vicinity of the new
mill, will be in charge of the
mill operations.
Topnotch Feeds have over
the years emphasized the neces7.
sity of providing service to
their customers, ,. With farm
profits so narrow, the—neces-
sity of providing farmers with
the latest management and nu-
tritional information possible is
an impoetant part of the com-
pany's selling program. This
phase of the company's opera-
tions is under the guidance of.
Dr. J. 1). Harvey, the company's
nutritionist.
Grain banking with farmers
is a service provided by some
of the Topnotch Feed mills. At
harvest, farmers deposit their
grain at the • mill and draw from
this deposit throughout the
year. While this service is not'
being offered at tate new mill,
it is contemplated for the fu-
ture.
