[Gristmillers] Best mill in the world!

[Floyd Boyett]

Ken,

This is definitely the company that made my mill but my exact mill is not
pictured.  Have you seen any of these mills?  I will try to get a few
pictures of the mill and send them to you if you think folks on the list
would like to see it.  It is not restored as of yet but I don't think it
will take a lot of work.  No wood!

Floyd
