Comanche Milling Company A Strategic Wheat Hub
Comanche Milling Company, a leading regional industry, operates the Comanche Flour mill using state of the art Midget Marvel machinery. Established two years ago by John P. Hoff and now owned by W A and R K Shelton, the plant serves wheat growers with 10,000 pounds daily flour capacity and 96,000 pounds daily chops, plus grindable feed. The mill sources power from Texas Power and Light, employs costly silk reels, and plans expansion to handling a carload of flour every 48 hours while preserving pure unbleached flour with retained nutrients. The facility stores 15,000 bushels of wheat and aims to broaden capacity as wheat harvests justify. The Comanche Mill, a model institution, supports the local wheat economy and is urged for broad community backing.
