CREAMERY IN CITY OF MEXICO
Kansas Man Investigating Industry in
the Aztec Country.

City of Mexico. March 27.-An
American creamery, run on American
methods. manufacturing American
butter. cheese. and ice cream, and at
prices considerably under those now
maintained for like products. is a
dream of residents of this city that
now has a promise of realization j.
E. Nissley of Topeka, Kan. who has
been in the city for some days past,
has been looking up the possibilities
for the establishment here of such a
creamery, and although his investiga-
tons have just begun, he feels that
there is room and a possibility for the
successful launching and maintaining
of such an enterprise. and that as the
foreign colony here grows there will
be an ever broadening field, not con-
sidering the possibility of an increased
demand for such products among the
better class of Mexicans.
Mr. Nissley is an experienced cream
cry man, having been in the business
eighteen years eight of these in To-
peka. He is a thorough business man
and master of his profession. and
will not take up the proposition here
unless he sees a future for it. and if
to success.
THE whole proposition said Mr..
Nissley yesterday, lis whether / can
run a creamery here without taking
up the dairy business. 1 am not a
da1ryman, and do not want to have
to take up that branch of the business
at all. want to be able to buy milk
or cream about the country, have it
shipped in, and used in the creamery.
So the question is just that and moth
ing more. The present prices of but
ter and cheese make it possible if I
can buy milk and cream at reasona BILE
prices, to establish q creamery and
operate it at a profit"
Mr.. Nissley explained that he would
have to do as the creameries in the
states do, that is, have the cream ship
ped in from outside of the city. as he
could not of course pay the prices that
the dealers can get at retail for their
products in the city. He says, how
ever, that he sees no reason why
cream cannot be shipped as far in
Mexico as it can in the United States,
500 miles to the creamery from the
stations where it is collected each
morning. He says that he has con-
siderable information regarding towns
on both the National and the Central
where he thinks he can get cream
Out toward Toluca on the National
there are several good dairy towns
and at one of these he understands
there is a man who ships as much as
1000 pounds of milk a day. He has
also received information regarding
the possibilities on the Guadalajara
branch of the Central. The railroads
have agreed to make rates, and with
their cooperation and low prices for
milk the chances look good.
Mr.. Nissley leaves tonight for trip
to Guadalajara. to look into conditions
there, and Will then return to his bust
ness in Topeka. He expects to visit
Mexico again in the summer. to be
here for a month or two, and at that
time will make a thorough and de-
cisive investigation of the whole region
tributary to Mexico and the possibili-
ties for the business in every phase of
it. Not until that is completed will he
make his final decision as to the
establishment of the creamery here.
Mr.. Nissley does not contemplate
giving up his creamery business in the
United States for that in Mexico. He
controls creameries in Kansas. Okla
homa and Texas. and the Mexico
creamery viii be only a new link in
the chain Of factories. The butter
and cheese here are to be identical
with those put in the creameries of
his companies in the United States.
and it is probable that the nearest of
these will act for time as a supply
house Of the one established here
should the proposition go through
