I M Clemens & Co
This firm, which new in the business fraternity of New Hamburg, have had a long and thorough experience in the line they recently acquired here. They took charge of the New Hamburg Flouring mills on June 15 b, 1898 Mr. Clemens has had ripe experience in the grain business. About twelve years ago he was employed by Mr. William Snider of Waterloo, as a grain buyer at Milbank, where he remained for five years. He was also engaged in the same capacity at Preston for three years. He has also had a thorough training on the farm, an experience that will stand him in good need in his present calling as it will be mainly with the farmers he will be required to deal, being therefore capable of catering satisfactorily to their wants. Mr. Clemens was born in Preston in 1861, and has a wife and three children. His partner, Mr. Emanuel Hilborn, has had eighteen years' experience in flour milling, having received his first instructions from that veteran miller, Mr. Steinmiller, of Waterloo County, then engaged by Mr. E. W. B. Snider. Mr. Hilborn was born near Preston in 1863, and also support: a wife and three children. This mill is one of the oldest in Waterloo County, but to day it is equipped with modern mill machinery and has a capacity for the production of one hundred barrels of flour per day. Their special brands are "Reliance," "Perfection" and "Peerless." At present they ship to Quebec, Montreal and Halifax, and will probably manufacture for export in the near future. A new chopper was just recently put in, which will place them in better shape than ever to accommodate those who require anything in the chopped feed line. These mills have a reputation for doing first-class work, and the gentlemen who now have charge will undoubtedly maintain that reputation, they being in every way qualified for so doing. As to the origin of these mills, the reader will find reference to that subject in my introductory sketch of the village of New Hamburg. But it is generally known that they were built early in the forties by one William Scott. This firm also buys grain and will pay the highest market price. This is a feature that is also of great benefit to the community as it tends to induce farmers from a distance to come here and do a good deal of their trading with the merchants.
