The Army Needs Your Flour-- Part 2: $30 Per Barrel Flour


"Six dollars per bushel of 60 pounds delivered at either of the Rail Road Depots will be paid for all choice white wheat. Inferior wheat in proportion to the above price. No damaged or sprouted wheat will be received. Bags will be furnished to put it in.

Thirty dollars per barrel will be paid for good superfine flour. Persons having flour or wheat will please call on me, or address me at Graham, N.C.
