Info on a thimble

[fyrffytr1]

I found a thimble yesterday but haven't been able to find out much about the company it was made for.
It reads "Ballard's Self Rising Flour".

Go to Google books and search for Ballard's Self Rising Flour. I think you will find what you are looking for.

I didn't find the info I was looking for in GoogleBooks but I did find this using just Google:

Ballard and Ballard Company, also known as Ballar's Obelisk Flour and Ballard Mills, was founded by Samuel Thruston Ballard and Charles T. Ballard in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. Ballard and Ballard was purchased by the Pillsbury Company in 1951.

Thanks for the lead.

"Ballard and Ballard "invented" easy bake instant oven biscuit mix - at one time they were the largest grain millery on earth."
