The stockholders and patrons OF the
Cooperative creamery met in Edson's
hall Saturday afternoon to the number OF
sixty and discussed the matter of closing
the creamery when the White Cross Milk
company should have its plant ready to
begin bottling operations. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the creamery
should continue to run until driven out
of business, and that milk would not ma
turaIly flow towards the bottling plant
unless the White Cross company offers
the farmers more money than it has yet.
Work is progressing on the bottilng
plant, and the company expects to com
mence business about the first OF April.
