The purchase of a new separator by
the Board was approved, after which
President Stewart, on behalf of the
Board and stockholders, moved a
vote of thanks to The GAZETTE and its
publishers for the active part it had
taken in making the Redwood Falls
Cooperative Creamery Association a
success. Mr.. Stewart said that the
association "was under great obliga-

junior member for pushing the enter
prise and interesting itself in the pros
perity and welfare of the county and
for realizing that nothing was more
conducive to the welfare and good Of
the county than a creamery. The sue
cess of the Redwood Falls Cooperate
Creamery and the REDWOOD FALLS
GAZETTE are one and the same."
The resolution of thanks was passed
by a unanimous vote and the stock
holders we're thanked on the part OF
The GAZETTE by Mr.. Schmahl, who said
