Mr. John Robson is not behind in the way of mill improvements. It
has been a great drawback against him in the past not having
sufficient water power. This difficulty is now overcome as he has
placed in his mill a first class steam engine. Gristing and chopping
will now be done promptly and at low rates. As he has been at
considerable expense refitting the mill, the public should give him a
share of their patronage.
