BEST CONDITIONS

OUT OVER $4,000 FOR CREAM
LAST YEAR
HAS DEVELOPED INTO A GREAT
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
cREDITABLE TO CITY

1t may be of interest to Tribune
readers to know that the Missouri
River Produce Co, or the Bismarck
Creamery, as it is known, has become
a factor of no small degree in the
business interests Of the city. This
concern was originally a small plant
at Wilton, but the owners felt that.
it did not have. a field large enough
there and a year and a half ago the
same was moved to Bismarck. The.
capital stock of the concern was in.
creased and several local persons in
Iterested.
The old cold storage building east
of Ninth street was purchased and
modern butter making machinery in
stalled The butter plant is now as
commend itself TO users of butter. The
and every known appliance has been
added to make an output that would
command itself to users Of butter The
present management feel that they
are as well equipped to handle cream
cry trade as any person and are al
ways pleased to show the workings of
the plant to those interested The
great factor in creameries is cleanli-
ness and this seems to have been not
in the Bismarck plant. Wherever pos
sible concrete construction has been
ness and this has not been overlooked
capable of receiving a daily bath of
boiling water. It does receive this
bath, too, and very few Kitchens in
the country are kept as sanitary as
the Bismarck Creamery
In addition to the creamery proper
l q very expensive cold storage plant
has been rompleted this summer,
Iequipped with electric elevators and
] in the storage rooms the most mod
ern cooling machinery has been in
stalled. On test run during one of
/ the hottest days of last summer a
| temperature of III degrees below zero
was secured in one of the butter box
IS. Tt is the intention OF the company
to store meats, butter, eggs. poul-
try and anything needing frigid tenn
Daasature. One Of the large rooms has
been set apart for meats and it is ex.
pected the local butchers will avail
Il themselves of the same, to the end
/ that our beef may receiV the necss-
sary ripening that can only be had
in cold storage plants. ,3 s5
In conversation with Mr.. Arnold,
the president and general manager 81
the plant, some figures were taken
i from the books that were of interest
to the scribe and show the work they
are doing. For the ten months of this
year this concern has received and
4 dsbursed the very respectble sum OF
Il S51 .691 for cream. Last July the pay
checks for cream were $4,000. being
I for this single month The average
4 per month for the year to Nov. Isl
/ was s5,169. This was paid in cash il
i farmers of the Slope and was rea
money. The policy of the company
is to send checks every day for this
cream received that day. There II
& no waiting for money everything sold
them is paid for in cash.
The cream is received mostly by ex
4 press and covers every station from
Beach on the west to Medina on til,
east, SO far as the Northern Pacific Ii
concerned The 500 line brings ii
cream from every station north ant
south as far as Pollock. It is to b,
regretted that not more local cream i
furnished, but this matter will uI
doubleday increase as soon as tn
benefits Of the creamery market i
felt BY the farmers.
