Curator's note | The largest Moose Jaw mill marketed the Radium, Keynote, Saskana and Robin Hood brands of flour, the last of which remains popular today. The company’s logo, an image of Robin Hood, was first painted on the mill elevator in 1922 and was a Moose Jaw landmark for over fifty years. At its peak, the mill employed 200 people and could produce 4,000 barrels of flour and 1,200 barrels of rolled oats per day. The mill had tremendous influence on economic and social life in Moose Jaw, which came to be known as the “Mill City.” -The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan |
