Nov. T.-FIed Zleglor returned
from Freeport last Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Tschida of Free
port are here on q visit.
B. Limberg has bought an Empire
cream separator and John Kraemer q
DeLaval.
. The Lastrup cheese factory has
sent out checks recently for milk de-
livered in August, which show that
the patrons received 20 cents per
pound oil test Our local creamery
paid II cents for the same, month.
Now We wish some of those who have
always claimed that they do better at
the cheese factory, would explain
Why. Perhaps they lay some value
on the fact that they have money
ccmirg, even if they deliver milk
only six mnths.
The following is published by
special request:

Freedmen Creamery Co., =,
Freedmen, MINI.
Dear Strive received yours ct the
5th inst. and are somewhat surprised
at its contents. We will assure you
that We were not informed that you
were running skimmlrg station at
Pie1z when We made our contract to
put in q creamery there for the sim
pie reason that you were net running
a skimminx station there. Further
more. The day we signed the contract
with the merchants If Pierz to put
in a creamery We were offered the
building that We understand you are
going to occupy which ia the old
Gre merry building in the rear Ct Mr..
Hartmann store. We have signed a
contract to put in creamery at
Pierz, and we will assure you that it
is gong to 60 In. We axe net lock-
iIg for trouble, have never made it q
business to Locate where there was
another plant. Your locating at
Pierz is simply scheme CT Mr. Hart
mans to try to discourage us. he
notified US the day We signed the con-
tract that he would try to get SKIM
ming station put in that building to
hurt u.s. He simply wanted us to
locate the creamery at the rear of his
store, so that he would secure all TIE
benefits and the rest Of the merchants
at Pierz get nothing. We wanted to
be fair to all parties concerned and
decided to locate the creamery be-
tween the two business centers,
whereby the farmers could unload
their milk or cream, and 60 and trade
where they wished. No tair minded
man should object to proposition of
that kind. We believe that you are
making great mistake. You are ap-
parent]y lookig for trouble. or trying
to scare us away. The proposition
we are in is that We could not with
draw II We wanted to.
We have signed q written contract
to put in q cream cry at Pier1.' We
are going to live up to it and while
We are not tryig to bluff you in any
way, We will assure you that We
will get tho business at Pierz after
We start up. We will get it by treat
ing the farmers right and paying q
higher price than you, and If it is
necessary, We will put in q creamery
at Freedmen.
We lind plenty of business in Min
nesota without any Of % fighting for
it. Tters is not enough business at
Pierz today to keep one good plant
q going. and it il simply nonsense for
two parties to 70 in there to fight for
what little business there is.
You we're notified before you did
anything that We had signed writ
ten contract to put in q creamery at
Pier5.
We trust you will consider this
matter further, and will be pleased to
hear from you again regarding same.
Very truly yours,
The Bridgeman & Russell Co.
Per Fl. Brakeman,
It 10 claimed by Mr.. Hartman that
be said he would have q creamery
or skimming station before building
commenced in low or town.
