Directory of Ogden City and Weber County.
Included in the business interests of the city are its milling interests which are quite extensive and give employment to many men, as well as put into circulation a large amount of capital. Being large factors in the material increase of the prosperity of the city they show an amount of enterprise on the part of our merchants that is commendable in the highest degree. These mills are not only beneficial to the city itself but also afford a means of disposal of grain to the farmers of the vicinity which saves them the trouble of shipping the grain to more distant points or becoming subject to the operations of middle men who buy on a merely speculative basis. The following are the mills of Ogden: Taylor's, Farr's, Peery's, Clark & Co.'s, and one being now in the course of erection by Stevens & Stone.
TAYLOR'S MILLS
are on a most eligible site on the line of the Union Pacific Railway, about three miles from the city, on the banks of the Weber River near Riverdale. They are substantially built and have been entirely refitted with the most approved machinery for milling purposes and are of ample capacity for the convenience of customers. These mills belong at present to President John Taylor.
CLARK & CO.'S MILLS
are situated on Main Street, near Fifth Street, and are substantial two-story brick buildings, having four run of stones and a capacity for turning out between 8,500 and 9,000 pounds per day. The machinery is run by steam and is of the latest pattern.
