Washburn 'A' flour mill, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, 1910. Vintage postcard showing the exterior of the Washburn 'A' Mill, the largest flour mill in the world at the time. Boxcars are on railway tracks in the foreground. There is a 'Gold Medal Flour' sign on top of the building. Minneapolis was a centre of flour manufacturing, milling grain from the farms of the Great Plains. By 1905 the city was producing 10 % of the country's flour. Today the Washburn 'A' Mill houses a museum devoted to Minneapolis' history and flour milling heritage.
