Arkansas City Republican, May 31, 1884.
Who can make good bread from poor flour? Every housewife knows the aggravation of flour made from defective wheat or by poor process. Mr. J. D. Paxon sends us this week, just as the hired girl was scraping hard the bottom of the flour barrel, a sack of "Patent" flour manufactured by the Arkansas City Roller Mills, and the bread made from it is light, snowy, flaky, and sweeter than any cake you ever tasted. Mr. Paxon has opened a flour, grain, and feed store on North Main Street, where the Arkansas City Patent can be had. It costs no more than poor flour, and its use gives both satisfaction and pleasure. Walnut Valley Times.
I am not related to this family, just passing on this information which comes from a website called "Arkansas City Republican," A newspaper for Arkansas City, Kansas. The link for the site is listed below.
