Willmar mill fire prompts new feed mill plan
Hon Marcus Johnson president of New London Milling Company speaks on rebuilding prospects after a blaze. Willmar flour brands will be maintained while a large feed mill is built south of the power plant on Benson Avenue, with the old site kept for potential flour mill rebuilding. The fire hits the mill’s head miller hard as workers and taxes loom over town. Supt G A Foster and others pressed for an agricultural extension school to join Willmar’s new Industrial building, alongside bids from other Minnesota towns. A light joke caps the piece.
