THE SHANNON BUTTER FACTORY.-Re-
ports are in circulation detrimental to the
character of the butter manufactured at
Silver Spring creamery, made by B. T.
Shannon & Son the past season, which we
wish to correct. 1t was run by five di-
James Young, James Anderson and j w
Allen; Sec. and Treas, II. IL. Allen. 1t
was the duty of the directors to have the
management of the butter except the man
ufacture of the same, and they had the
oversight of that. Shipments were made
by the directors every week during the
spring to Cobb, Aldrich &, Co. and others.
They received q cents per pound for it,
pronounced it first-class butter and de-
sired more. We have letters which we
will exhibit if desired in proof of the
above statements. About the last of May
the directors were offered 81 cents per
pound, but would not sell it for less than
% ce is, consequently they ordered it
into cold storage. The cold storage but
ter amounted to about 10000 pounds, of
which 60, 600 pounds were sold by FaleS
& Lehi for 10 to 20 cts. per pound. About
the first of Oct, Fl. 4. Hartman of this
town examined the remainder and offered
the directors II cents pound for it. but
they asked 20. J. w. Allen, one of the
directors, thought best to sell it at that
time for the price offered. About Jan. 1st
the butter at such price as he could get.
Mr. H. disposed of about 5000 pounds at
II cents a pound, and supposed he had
closed it all out. 1t turned out that David
Ellis & Co. had some 5000 pounds which
they sold at 10 cents pound and for
warded check to the treasurer. Oct. LIST,
we contracted with the parties to pay
us % cents a pound for the fall butter,
but it turned out tina. som of them COM
menced feeding turnips and turnip tops,
which so injured the butter that we made
a loss of to s cents a pound on the fall
butter. We believe if the butter had been
we'll handled and seasOnably sold, the
parties would have received fair price
for it the season through. While we have
no doubt that the committee acted in
good faith, we do not like to bear the
blame that resulted from their doings or
their mistakes. We have had long eX-
f,O,
100 to 600 COWS, and have sold for fancy
prices to the best of parties. Extensive
buyers and experts have always prOnounc-
ed our goods No. which we have papers
place and have our business suspended,
and our reputation destroyed through the
faults and preiudiceS of others. We want
the facts in regard to Silver Spring
Creamery presented to the public in their
true character.
