GOLDENS' NO. 4 This is the mill which Dad had purchased used and setup in the fall of 1955, so it has been in our family almost fifty years.  The No. 4 has a 8 3/16" x 16" main roller and two 8" x 8" small rollers.  The No. 4 is one of Goldens' larger three vertical roller mills.

GOLDENS' NO. 2 - This mill is shown in the wood pile where I found it.  Though it is in rough shape, I bought it for its historical significance.  It carries the plate "Patent Applied for" which makes it a transitional mill and dates it in 1904.  Mills before 1904 were flat top and mills after were marked "Goldens' New Model. "

GOLDENS' NO. 2 - This mill has a lot of potential, but I just have not gotten around to working on it yet. The No. 2 has a 6 3/16" X 12" main roller and two 6" X 6" small rollers

GOLDENS' NO. 2 - This mill on the left is in rough shape, but I bought it in case I needed to cannibalize it for parts, however, it is not beyond repair.  The Goldens' mills were made in Columbus, Georgia and the foundry is still in business.  They still get inquiries and requests for cane mills, which they have not manufactured in years.

DEMOREST FOUNDRY AND MACHINE WORKS, DEMOREST, GEORGIA - Demorest is in Habersham County in beautiful northeast Georgia. The city was named for the famous prohibition speaker, W.

CHATTANOOGA PLOW NO. 11 - The Chattanooga Plow Co., Chattanooga, Tennessee, was one of the nation's three largest plow companies.  When John Deere began producing harvesters, International Harvester saw the need to get into the plow business.  They purchased the Chattanooga Plow Company and another company in 1919 and situated themselves to meet Deere's competition. The No. 11 is one of the smaller mills Chattanooga Plow made.

COLUMBUS IRON WORKS, COLUMBUS, GEORGIA - The Columbus Iron works had a long illustrious history in Columbus, but unfortunately not much of their product history is preserved.  After the Civil War, a subsidiary, Southern Plow, was established to meet the needs for agricultural implements.  The power attachment would indicate that this one is of their later mills.

IMPROVED COLUMBUS NO. 12 - Manufactured by Southern Plow, Columbus, Georgia. This is one of the mills produced by the subsidiary of Columbus Iron Works which was established in 1867. The No. 12 has a 6 3/16" X 11 3/8" main roller and two 6" X 6" small rollers and weighs 626 pounds.

IMPROVED COLUMBUS NO. 14 - The largest mill in my collection and the one we use to grind juice for syrup. It was manufactured by Southern Plow. It has a 9 3/4" X 15 3/16" main roller and two 9 3/4" x 8" small rollers.  This mill's weight is listed at 1310 pounds and is called a two-horse heavy. This mill is a joy to use.  While I have been tempted to add a power attachment, I have decided to keep it in its original state.

IMPROVED COLUMBUS NO. 1 - Manufactured by Southern Plow. This is like No. 7 but without the power attachment.

Please forgive my having a little fun with it.
