YEAST FACTORY
IN WICHITA
Holland Yeast Company Is
Building a Plant.
FIVE TONS PER DAY
Of Holland Quick Yeast viii
De lis Capacity.
FIVE TONS PER DAY

The Holland Yeast company is fitting
up the lower floor Of the building at the
corner of Murdoch and Santa Fe avenues
and VIII establish yeast factory there.
The managers Of the concern are Berry
Wall and Nelson o. NIcClees. both wich-
ita young men. They have been expert
menting for several weeks to learn the
best methods Of yeast manufacture and
are now at work installing the necessary
appliances and machinery. Some Of the
machines have TO be made to order and
this viii take considerable time and they
do not expect to turn out any Of their
product until August or possibly as late
as the first Of September. The process OF
yeast making is a secret and the success
Of the business depends on the practical
bility Of their process. The process will
be known as the Holland Quick Yeast
and the promoters say that it viii be
the best dry yeast on the market at the
present time In speaking of the pro-
1ect Mr. McCIees yesterday said TO re-
porter for the Eagle;
I'VE believe that we have discovered
a process that viii enable US TO make an
especially high quality of dry yeast,
yeast that viii not require setting for
any great length of time as is now re-
quired by al dry yeasts, but something
that viii enable the housewife to bake
her bread in a comparatively short space
of time
We selected this city as the place to
establish our factory as It is close to the
producing section of our principle ingre-
dent. corn. and another reason that
there is no yeast factory within humid
reds Of miles and there is a big territory
70 be covered and We believe that we
can draw our share Of the trade in our
line when once the merits of the product
become known For long time I have
been making experiments TO find the
best way OF making what we call the
yeast germs and we have met with good
success and are going to make yeast in
large quantities.
We have 10 have special machinery
made for us and the watts and fixtures
all have 70 be supplied under special
plans and this takes time and money to
draw these plans and get the machinery
IN place. We do not know exactly what
amount of money we viii put into this, /
but it will be enough 10 make the plant
as complete and up-to-date as any plant
IN the country. OF course it win not be !
as large as some plants when we start I
but we believe that we have a product /
that when once tried viii be used, and +
We intend to Increase our capacity as
fast as necessary. We viii have a capac- /
ity to start with of five tons of yeast per 1
day OF the Holland Quick Yeast and as
It viii be dry yeast we think the house
wives VIII find our goods a decided ad-
vantage over other quick yeasts and also
dry yeasts. Our first product viii be
placed on the market between August
y and September /.
MI McClees came to this city from
Colorado a few months ago. He lived
here a number of years ago but moved
20 Pueblo, but like all good Wichitans.
he has returned to his former home and
here he intends TO stay and help build
up a business that may be pointed to
with pride. He has associated with him
Mr. Berry Wall who needs no introduce
ton to the people of Wichita.
