Description

This was a advertisement photograph of 4 children sitting on tree limbs, with their mother nearby, with this text below, Our Brands Dictator Monarch Senator Emperor We Recognize No Superior Peerless Roller Flour Mills and Grain Dealers. This text might be explained by this text from History of Posey County by John C. Leffel, 1913 (Google Books online), p. 373-374, In 1883 the firm of Fuhrer, Boyce & Co. built the first, Peerless Mill, which was burned in 1899, and on its site the present mill was erected and is now operated by the Fuhrer-Ford Milling Company, who succeeded to the business of the original builders. There are other photographs in this collection of Fuhrer-Ford and its Dictator flour. Fuhrer-Ford Milling Company is now ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) at 614 W. 2nd St.
