GEORGE H. COX, miller, Bloomington; Mr. George H. Cox, of the firm of T. J. Cox & Co., is a native of Dixfield, Oxford Co., Me.; he was born Nov. 22, 1849, and came West in June, 1866, and engaged with his brother T. J. as book-keeper, which position he held until 1872, when he went into partnership with his brother, the firm name being then as now, T. J. Cox & Co., their mills being the Eagle, located near the C. & A R. R. depot, and the Union, located near the I. C. depot; they have a flouring capacity of about four hundred barrels of flour daily, and the reputation of the mills is such and the firm is so well known that, during a great portion of the year, they are run to their full capacity; they are very conveniently located for shipping, which is quite an advantage where so much flour is to be shipped. George H. spends his time principally at the Eagle Mills. The firm of T. J. Cox & Co. is so well known, and their financial success has been so marked that any compliments of the press are wholly unneeded on their part.
