The Letz will grind the finest kind of flour —at one grinding. Screening or 
bojting is not necessary. You have your own grain or can buy it che.aply. By 
doing your own grinding you get any kind of flour at a big saving. Use a 
Letz Mill for grinding whole wheat flour—ryt—buckwheat—cormeal—rice 
—any kind of cereal. 
Letz silent-running, sclf-.sharpening plates grind fast and clean—grind any kind 
of grain, dry or oily. They the grain. They make no noise. Thescplatcs 
Avill grind a fine flour inpnc operation Awithout any possible danger of injuring the 
plates, as you cannot injure Letz plates by letting them run together empty, but 
to the contrary, running Letz plates together empty sharpens them. 
Leaders tm 27 Years 
I'or the past 27 years Letz Grinders have been recognized the Avorld over as 
the leading grinders after Avhich competition 
tries to model. Letz Grinders have been im¬ 
proved each and every year by highly trained 
mechanics wlio devote their entire efforts to- 
Avard making the Letz Grinder 100% efficient 
—that’s why the Letz Grinder should be 
your choice.
