Gow, John Cowie , Flour and Oatmeal Miller and Grain Merchant, Shag Valley Mills, Palmerston. Bankers, Bank of New Zealand. This mill, which was originally the property of Mr. W. J. Young, has been worked by the present proprietor since 1892. It is erected on freehold land, 110 acres in extent. The building is a four-storey wooden structure, and contains a complete up-to-date roller plant, driven by a fifteen horse-power water wheel, or, failing sufficient water, a twenty-five horse-power horizontal steam engine. The plant is known as a two-sack plant, and the trade is principally local, the surplus produce being sent to Dunedin. The brand is a “Valley Lily.”
