Contextual information

Maley would have still had optimism for the future of his flour milling business when he ordered new docket books in 1890. But the mill was to cease grinding a year later, unable to compete with the new roller milling machinery installed by Thomas Clinch in his much expanded flour mill 4km to the south.
