decline to fill such orders.

superior to all others.

Power. For grinding all kinds of Grain, Spices, Coffee, 
Plaster, Bones, Soap Stone, &c., they have no equal. 
Large Mills are made for milling purposes requiring but 
one half the power to do the work of large flat stone mills

of other manufacture.
