Great Western Milling Co.
The Great Western Milling Co. contemplates building a new mill on a site at the railway station. The latest type of milling machinery will be installed and the capacity of the plant will be increased to cope with expanding business. The building will be lighted by electricity, and, when completed, the mill will be one or the most up-to-date outside the metropolis. Mr. A. C. Gaskin, who has been connected with the Mudgee Milling Co. as manager for the last ten years, will join the staff, and his extensive experience should prove of value to the Great Western, of which he is a shareholder1 .

Western Milling Company New Mill
Work, in connection with the building of the Western Milling Company's new mill is proceeding very satisfactorily, and with great expedition. The section which will hold the plant is now completed, and ready for the new machinery, two truck loads of which were received from Messrs. Henry Simon, Ltd., the world famous engineers of Manchester. Some of the new machines are the only ones of the kind in the States. The engine, a high speed Davey Paxman Compound, is to arrive this week, and during the next few days the Babcock and Wilcox boiler will be erected. All the work so far has been done by local workmen, under the supervision of Mr. A. C, Gaskin, who has had many years' experience designing erecting and managing roller flour mills of all systems with the largest millers of the Commonwealth. Mr. Gaskin has been engaged by the Western Milling Company to design the mill and carry out the erection of the plant. The chimney has been erected by Messrs. Collyer and Carmichael from plans prepared by Mr. Gaskin, and the bricks used came out of the chimney at the old mill. Mr Gaskin considers that the admirable work done by Messrs. Collyer and Carmichael reflects great credit upon them, and disposes of the contention that our local builders are not able to carry out work of this kind2 .
