There are few, if any, cities the
size o f ours which have the advan
tages o f the location in their midst
o f an immense establishment such as
this well-known firm maintains.
One o f the things that is essential
in the upbuilding o f any modern
American city is the location o f a
modern lumber yard in its midst.
The fact that one can get anything
and everything in the lumber line
at their yards adds to the efficiency

the excellent quality which today
is offered at reasonable prices.

ter day creamery men. They have
always taken an active interest in
the development o f this community
and their institution is one o f our
most valued industrial assets. We
wish to give them a prominent place
which their modern creamery merits
as being among the foremost con
cerns in this line of endeavor. They
are a large contributor to the pro

This well-known institution prob
ably typifies better than any othei
the material progress o f the com
munity, and the fact that this sec
tion o f the state is organized along
twentieth century lines as regards
the continual development of com
merce and agriculture.
Years ago
there were small creameries in ev
ery community in which the pro
ducer sent to market his cream and
to which the retailer looked for his
supply o f butter for his customers.
Popularity with both the produc
er and the consumer is evidenced
by the large number o f farmers sel-
of volume of business through mod
ern equipment they are not only able
to pay the farmer a higher price
for his cream, but by the same to
ken, can manufacture and sell their
butter for less. And it can be read
ily seen that this twentieth century
organization also enables them to
produce a brand of butter o f uni
form high quality.
At the offices
o f this company the producers ep-
countre the most courteous treat
ment and receive more for cream
than would be paid if he had to de
pend on a smaller creamery for a
market.
The production o f cream is a
proposition that ought to appeal to
every owner,
even of a small
farm, as it is a well-known fact
that this mode o f farming bu.ids
up the land, at the same time mak
ing the producer more money than
he can make by straight farming,
and then he gets pay right along in
cash.
