The True Dairy Company and Vermont Farm
Machine Company Bidding for Chance to
Build One-A Complicated Situation.
The farmers OF Saxtons River and vcin-
ity are ag'tating the matter of building a
creamery. So far as learned the situation
is as follows:
The True Dairy and Supply company Of
Syracuse, N. Y, have an agent at Saxtons
River who has been agitating the forming
OF stock company to build creamery
and organize creamery association.
The shares are 800 each, the entire
plant ready for use to cost $3.50, the shares
payable in prcmissory notes due in six
months from date, or If the shares are paid
for in cash discount OF eight per cent
will be made,
The agent has submitted an itemIzed
proposition stating exactly what his com
pany will do for the price named. The
building is to be % 60 feet, nicely clap
boarded and painted, with cupola and
weathervane, arch for driveway, boiler of
12-horse power capacity and engine of
eight-horse power, scales, watts, churns,
butter-worker, piping, three engine pumps,
good office, radiators for heating whole
building by steam, ice house and cold
storage. The office, making room and
cold storage, to be finished in hard pine,
tongued, grooved, beaded and oiled
In short everything is to be complete
for manufacturing butter in the most ap-
proved way. The creamery is to be
started up and run until stockholders are
satisfied that everything is first class before
their subscription to stock becomes bind
ing. The agent gets all subscriptions to
stock, and the company gives stockholders
the privilege of furnishing whatever comes
in their line whether material or labor.
1t is understood that about Sl10O has
been subscribed so far.
THE VERMONT FARM MACHINE CoMPA> Y
MAKES BID.
Learning that N. G, Williams, manager
of the Vermont Farm Machine company,
had taken some interest in the matter, a
TIMES representative saw him and a,ked
him what sort of proposition his company
had made to the farmers OF Saxtons River
He said that he had agreed to duplicate
the plant the True Dairy company pre-
posed to build for $4,000.
Mr.. Williams also said:
"a we'll conducted creamery is of bene-
fiji to any community where there are suf-
fcient number OF cows to support it. We
have furnished a great many of these
creameries in the last - or 20 years, quite
large number in our own state. We
snail be pleased to refer those interested in
the prospective creamery enterprise, to
plants being successfully run in Vermont,
which have been established by us.
1.-The essentials for the location are al
ABUNDANT supply of pure spring water AMI
good drainage. The buildings vary in ar
e5itecture and finish according to the ia ties

lar is the style that averages to cost about
$4,000 including the building, machinery

five creameries in what is called the Mont

Of the milk Of 1000 to 1900 cows, probably
more than the Ssxtons River creamery will
ever have. The apparatus ccst Sl17175,
which includes two OF the large size sepa
rators. One separator will answer for
Saxtous River and will reduce the cost OF
the apparatus about $500 Other things
being equal. the parties who are interested
in the Saxtons River creamery and are
really DESTROYS OF having one should be
able to complete their creamery for $500
less than the Mansfield people did be-

River. This demonstrates that creamery
