[Gristmillers] W.C. Meadows and R.C. Meadows History

[adaniel tds.net]

Barry, I have owned and presently own many Meadows Mills. I will send you a
few pic's. I grind commercially on a 30'"steel case mill that meadows mill
mfg. in 1955. (30") hooked to a bucket elavator and grits separator with
matching serial numbers. I also have a 20" Bob Meadows steel case mill.
Year,date unknown; I would love to have some correct data on his mills as
very little is known about them. Thank you Wayne
