``The Canterbury Roller Flour
Mills
at Ashburton, where the well known “Supreme”
brand of flour is manufactured, were originally built in 1873. The mills
are situated on a stream from the Ashburton river, and are driven by
two turbines and steam power. In September, 1900, the mills were
purchased from the Assets Realisation Board by the Messrs Wood Brothers,
of Christchurch, manufacturers of “Wood's Flour,” well known as the
oldest established brand of
[page 830]
flour in the colony. The mills are connected by rail with the main south
line, and have a convenient siding. The old building has just been
rebuilt in brick, and the new machinery, which has replaced the old, has
a capacity of ten sacks of flour an hour.''
