The Colorado Condensed Milk Com
pany.
The Colorado Condensed Milk
company was organized in 1901 and
commenced business in 1902. 1t
was at first owned by a stock com
pany organized by the farmers and
business men of Fort Lupton and
vicinity, and continued under their
management for about year. 1t
was then purchased by prominent
! tinanciers of Rochester, n. Y, and
| has since been continuously under
/ their ownership and direction.
The present directorate is COM
posed of Frank Gebbie, Fred King
and Kendall b. Castle, all of Roches-
ter; T. j. Waters of Denver, and
Gilbert Landell of Fort Lupton. The
last named is secretary and manag-
ing director.
Since its start the growth of the
company has been steady and regu-
| lar, until at present it is furnishing
the state of Colorado with large
proportion of the condensed milk
consumed in the state, as well as
shipping large quantities into neigh
! boring territory, principally into
| Wyoming and Idaho. The company
| is now sold up we'll into the future.
| This position is unique for milk
companies IN 1908, for nearly every
other milk company in the United
States is at present over-stocked. in
/ consequence of the immense flow
of milk in the east during tn spring
and summer of this year. 1t has
been able to maintain its prices for
| the year, regardless of the deep cuts
made by its competitors. This
speaks volumes for the superior
quality of goods turned out by the
present management.
Fort Lupton is an ideal spot for
the clean. sweet milks necessary for
the production of a sound, high-class
condensed milk. The cool nights,
cool water, abundance of cheap al
falfa and other farm products for
dairy feeding, and the close proxim-
ity to a fine market, all make dairy
