A 1914 advertisement claimed the mills at Ball and Gunning Milling Co. in Webb City had a daily capacity was 250 barrels of flour, 1,000 sacks of chop and 150 barrels of meal.
The elevator capacity was 150,000 bushels. Train cars with mixed product could be purchased. Prices could be had by wiring or writing the company.
Arthur Hamilton, the man below standing on the wagon bed at Ball and Gunning, was the father of WCAGS founding member Margaret Hamilton Goddard.
The Webb City Sentinel isn’t a newspaper – but it used to be, serving Webb City, Missouri, in print from 1879-2020. This “newspaper” seeks to carry on that tradition as a nonprofit corporation.
