From Michele Royer, "Flour mill seals from the steam mill of the city of Trieste. See link page 4 & 5 (in Italian) - I-GRECI-A-TRIESTE, 'The largest industrial unit was the steam mill (for flour) of Demetrio and Andrea Economo, founded in 1871 [...] in 1885 employed 264 workers, employed a steam engine of 400 horsepower and produced a flour of worth 3,730,000 guilders. It was destroyed by fire in 1900'. ... A little additional information for these seals: 'D.&G' for 'Demetrio e Giovani' Economo."
