Investigate the Plan TO Put in a
Creamery at Worthinston.
There is much discussion every
year that Worthington ought to
have a creamery but no so oner does
the subject come up than the ques'
tion arises what responsible parties
will put in one.
A cooperative concern cannot be
properly operated. This year Kelley
and Co., who; have been in the
wholesale, poultry and egg business
con template putting in a creamery if
they can fba assured of sufficient
cream they do not want the: milk.
This company :have%been operating
hero for the past two years and we
have yet to hear the first complaint
against their treatment of their
patrons: They not only handle the
local business but ship in, large
quantities Of poultry; and prepare it
for the retail market, in all parts Of
thess United States. They have
houses established all over the
country and are considered safe
business men to deal with id any
way such men as this make a success
of any business and these are the
men his community want. Their
past method of conducting their
business and their present standing
place themsin a position. where they
have the confidence of the people
who know them. Their reputation
is open to the farmer for investi-
CATION what more can be done to
convince the farmers of the RESPONSE
bility of this firm to conduct busi-
ness that will be beneficial to the
community at large.
The creamery business is one that
brings money to the pocket of the
farmers regularly the year round,
no failure because of rain. or other
or frost. The height of wheat
has passed. Last year large
acreage of corn spoiled. There is a
great risk every year in getting a
crop to the market, not so with q
creamery. There are more profits
than one realized from the creamery
business. There is the increase Of
stock, fertilizing the land etc.
Kelley and Co. have purchased
the property they now occupy which
adds to their> reliability as a fixed
concern. On this property they
have room and if a. sufficient
quantity Of cream can be secur ed
will erect creamery. They ask no
bonus or the organizing of any stock
company just want the cream. The
farmers should not pass the oppor-
tunity by but investigate by calling
On this firm at once that there may
be no delay in getting the work
started.
This subject also appeals to
our business men, as farming is the
principal resource of this village
and it behooves them to interest
themselves in any movement that
will assist the farmer to secure better
and largr results from his labor in
The best way possible, To do this
will give the farmers confidence in
The enterprise and they will feel
more like increasing their herds to
procure q larger amount of cream.
Towns in which creameries are
ocated always appear moro pros
porous than those without them.
A movement is on foot to secure one
1t Rushmore, the business men
here are interested and advocate it.
If it is a good thing for Rushmore or
my town it is a good thing for
v Worthington. If we have a firm in
>ur midst who are responsible and
Ill that is required to establish the
is the cream, it is the duty
If the citizens to endeavor to pro-
note the enterprise, not only for
heir personal welfare but tho COM
nunity at large, Kelley and Co. are
loing their share. 1t would not be
thoir thr,rifu for tho |
