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.
