CREAMERY MEN ORGANIZE
ALREADY INCLUDES
SIXTY LEADING ESTABLISH
MENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

West Chester. Dec. 19.-The creamery
men of this section of the state are pre-
pairing to extend their organization TO
include all of the leading creameries in
this part of the state. A meeting will
be held for the purpose of booming
the organization on January in Phila-
delphia.
The association is known as the
Creamery Association of Eastern Penn
sylvania, and it already includes about
sixty of the leading establishments in
the eastern counties, while many others
will probably go into the combine at
the coming meeting
The promoters Of the scheme say
that it is not to be in the nature Of a
trust" but simply an organization for
mutual protection and advancement of
the creamatory interests. They want TO
protect themselves against the un-
scrupulous creamery men and TO pay
the farmers a better price for milk, Civ
ing them the advantage OF an increase
in profits to the creameries. The cream
cries in the combination are those en-
gagged in the manufacture OF what is
known as fancy" butter.
