Quite extensive improvements are in progress at the flouring mill of the R. P. Koenig & Co., on S. First Street.  A concrete flume, 140 feet in length, is being constructed to replace the old flume which is going to decay. A box flume is being constructed to convey water to the A. R. Wien's Brush factory. The improvements indicate that the Koenig Co. and the Brush factory are prospering.

 

Koenig Mill became Jaeger Mill
