| Physical Description: | White muslin flour sack printed with green text around a decorative red circle with brown horse in the center. Predominant colors are red and green. |
| Description: | The Spokane Flour Mill distributed this sack through the Tai Chi Company. The mill shipped to China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, South America, and most of the USA during seven decades in operation. Competition and freight costs closed the mill in 1972, but the structure remains on the north bank of the falls. Fertile soil, railroads, irrigation, and land grant university research has helped wheat production impacted regional growth, economy and lifestyles since settlement began. |
