Milling Company, Salina Kansas This is an illustrated letter head from the now
closed flour mill "The Robinson Milling Company, Salina Kansas" from
December 9, 1920. The illustration is of their warehouse and grain elevators
located on the corner of 9th, and North Street Salina Kansas. There are also
two illustrated automobile, and two train cars. On either side of that main
illustration are representations of two of their products. "Robin's Best
Flour" which has a drawing of a bird on a branch, and "Betty Jane
Flour" which has a girl swinging on a swing, attached to a tree branch. In
visible light, the watermark on the paper cannot be seen. But if it is held up
to the light, it shows the words "Public Service Bond" and a number.
I also included a photograph that I took of the same location on June 01, 2015.
Nearly 95 years after this letter was dated.

LONG ILLNESS ENDS
MRS. C. E. ROBINSON PASSES AWAY
THURSDAY
Mrs. Jennie A. Robinson, 67, wife of C. E. Robinson, head of one
of the prominent grain and milling firms of Kansas, died at 10 o'clock Thursday
night at her home, 850 South Santa Fe. She had been in failing health for
several years and for many months past her condition had fluctuated from very
critical attacks to apparent periods of improvement. Recent weeks, however, had
shown little improvement. Mrs. Robinson suffered a serious heart attack while
she was on a trip to California about two years ago, and after being brought
home was very ill for some time. There were recurrences of that illness,
however, at times serious enough to cause grave alarm.
In other years Mrs. Robinson had been active in church and social
circles of the city, activities which were necessarily curtailed by her failing
health. The Robinson home has been in Salina since 1911, the family moving here
from western Kansas as Mr. Robinson's business interests expanded in this
territory. Mrs. Robinson was born March 15, 1871, at Uhrichsville, O. In the
immediate family, besides Mr. Robinson, there are three daughters and one son.
They are Harry L. Robinson, Kansas City, Mo., grain executive; Mrs. Ed
Morgenstern, wife of Salina's mayor; Mrs. Albert F. Pyle, also of Salina.; and
Mrs. Robert W. Campbell, Beaver Falls, Pa. There are two brothers and two
sisters, Oscar Latto, Uhrichsville, O., Harry Latto, Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Ida
Worstell, Valparaiso, Ind., and Mrs. Nora Davis, Canton, O. There are four
grandchildren.
Mrs. Robinson was a member of the Methodist Church. Her body has
been taken to the Rush Smith Funeral Home to remain until Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock, when it will be taken to the First Methodist Church to lie in state
until 3 o'clock, the hour of the funeral. Rev. Herbert Jackson Root will
officiate at the service. Entombment will be made in the family crypt in the
mausoleum in Gypsum Hill Cemetery.
