The creamery building recently
completed south of town is being used
for cheese factory. AS the number
of COWS is somewhat smaller than
was expected, Mr.. w. Il. Hastings,
the proprietor concluded that the
manufacture Ofcheese would, for this
season at least, be more profitable than
butter making. From 1900 to 2O00 lbs
of milk is received daily from which
daily average of POO lbs. of cheese is
made. The quality of the cheese
manufactured is excellent. A gentle
man, from Duluth was here last week
who wished to contract for the entire
product of this season. The cheese
from this factory was first put i'll the
market here few days ago and the
amounts sold at the various stores are
large enough to convince anyone that
the people of Graceyille believe in
patronizing home industries. All
needed apparatus for butter making Is
now in the building 50 that this work
can be taken up at any time when IL
will be more pro titable than cheese
making. The building is large, well
planned and is substantially built, be-
ing two stories high and having
basement with solid stone walls.
Prices of adjacent real estate are
