JOHNSON LUMBER CO, LAR LARGEST COQUILLE INDUSTRY The Commercial Home and the Homie of One of the most important manu facturing establishments and one that, in its activity, is probably con tributing most to the development of the local trade territory is the Co- quille Valley Creamery, located at the west end of Front Street. The 'Coquille Valley Creamery is a modern, sanitary and well equipped food manufacturing establishment, If is equipped with the latest and most approved appliances for hand ling this specialized line of work, Where certain machinery or equip- ment will contribute to better quali- ty product, its most sanitary hánd- ling or more economical production, it has been availed of. J. H. McCloskey,'the 'proprietor of this establishment, - is one of the live progressive business men of this sec tion, who is constantly doing his part toward the betterment of the district. He is one of those business men who is never classed with the slacker, as one. failing to live up to his obligation to his city and community. Mr. Mc Closkey can always be depended upon as hn active worker and supporter in, a financial way of every movement that is for the general good of this city and district, and, in the conduct of this creamery, he has been found to be absolutely fair and trustworthy- in every particular. This plant manufactures only but ter and cheese and these products have a wide market. These products are recognized for their superior quality and merit. The cheese manu- fatured at this plant is meeting with a large and well deserved demand wherever it has been introduced. A better quality, purer or more whole some cheese it is impossible to man ufacture. ' This department of the business is under the management of an expert cheese specialist who has the advantage of the best produced raw materials for manufacture and the most modern machinery that will contribute to quality product and ab solute sanitation of the product. The butter that is put out by this estab lishment is also of the highest qual ity and is sold at a most reasonable price in comparison with competing butter manufactured by outside creameries; 'It is packed in a sani tary manner and has become recog nized in this community as the best. This most worth while Coquille in dustry is most efficiently managed by J. H. McCloskey, who thoroughly un derstands the conduct of a modern creamery, and who is constantly working toward heightening the qual ity of product, stimulating the pro- ductioh of better milk and cream by the producer, and securing for local producers the best price consistent with »the best quality. This creamery is a substantial as- set to the Coquille Valley and in evr ery way deserves the preference on the part of the people of this district. Trade and support of this home man ufacturing establishment not only is developing a worth while home man ufactory, but is also assisting in thè more complete development of Co quille’s outlying trade territory. the Travelling Public in South western Oregon The most important and largest ho- with comfortable chairs and every tel in the city is the Hotel Coquille thing that would contribute to thue located at the corner of Front and convenience of the guests.
