THE ROYAL MILLING COMPANY of Great Falls has the largest flouring plant in the
state. It was organized in 1892 with a capital stock of $100,000. The president is
James A. Bell, of Minneapolis, Minn.; vice-president, William H. Dunwoody; secretary
and treasurer, Charles J. Martin, of Minneapolis. The general manager of this
extensive plant is William M. Atkinson, also of Minneapolis. In 1892 the mill was
erected with a capacity of 300 barrels, which has since been increased to 400. In
the manufacture of flour they use Montana and Dakota wheat, the product finding a
ready sale in Montana, Washington and California. Mr. Atkinson is a native of
Chicago, Ill. He was, however, reared and educated in Minneapolis. In 1882 he
entered the employment of the Washburn-Crosby Milling Company as office boy. Thence
he followed, step by step, along the line of steady promotion, until he arrived at
the position of head salesman in 1892. He was then advanced to his present position
of general manager of the Royal Milling Company. This company now employs fifteen
men. It is erecting a two-story warehouse and with its collateral equipments the
institution embraces an altogether superior plant, and the mill now supplies all the
home trade. The company belongs to the National Millers’ Association, and has branch
warehouses at Butte, Helena and Anaconda, anti a large elevator and mill at
Kalispell. The establishment is supplied with all modern improvements, rollers,
bolters, etc. Tt can be pronounced one of the most successful business enterprises
in Montana, and it is entirely just to say that this is owing very largely to the
superior ability and sagacious business methods of Mr. Atkinson.
