The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-04-16

CETON, MILE Laos COUNTY,
it was not much of a trick to organize
} under existing conditions and thought
|, the farmers would be foolish to turn
} the proposition down. Mr.. Rust then
made a motion to proceed at once to
} organize cooperative creamery
. association and the motion was
} unanimously carried.
! r. @. Dunn said he would like to
} see the project set on foot at once.
Effect temporary organization and
go ahead. Build a creamery and
i make brand of butter that will be-
known for it's superiority throughout
! the country. Don't give the central
izers the profit of your labors any
longer. 1t belongs to you and you
can have it if you want to. Mr.. Dunn
wished to make it clear that this
creamery was for the farmers and the
farmers only-that the farmers we're
to run it independent of the business
men.
A temporary organization was then
effected with the following officers:
President, Louis Rust; secretary,
Henry Holthus: board of directors,
M. G. Thorring, John Dalchow, r. S.
Shaw, August Jaenicke, Chas. Jud-
kins, Michael Kaliher and George
Tomlinson.
A motion was made and carried that
the price of shares be placed at $40
each.
Louis Rust thanked the meeting for
electing him temporary president of
the organization. He said he realized
that he would have to contend with
many kicks, but nevertheless he
would do his utmost to enhance the
success of the creamery project and
urged all those who contemplated
joining the association to put forth
their best efforts to help it along.
The temporary organization here
took a recess and upon it's return
President Rust reported that it had
been decided to call another meeting
for Saturday afternoon next at the
same time and place. In the mean
time a committee would make can
vass for the sale of stock and another
committee had been appointed to look
up suitable site. Mr.. Rust asked
all the farmers present to use their in
fuence with their friends with a view
of having them purchase stock.
Mr.. Dybevick advised the farmers
to send a committee to some of the
good creameries of the state to gather
information regarding their operation
and construction.
A vote of thanks was then rendered
Mr.. Dybevick for the interest he had
taken in the proceedings and the ex-
cellent speech he had delivered.
1t is expected that a speaker will be
on hand from the state dairy and food
department. to address the meeting on
Saturday next.
Now, farmers, get busy. You have
started out we'll in selecting your tenn
porary officers. They are all good,
reliable men. Hustle. The creamery
should be in running order within 40
days. Erect a handsome brick build
ing. Let it be a model creamery in
every respect. Let it always be owned
and operated by farmers and for the
farmers. Employ frst-class butter
maker, one who thoroughly under
stands his business, manufacture a
grade of butter that will command
top-notch prices and make the Prince
ton Cooperative Creamery famous.
Every dollar of profit over and above
the running expenses and reasonable
interest to the stockholders should
go into the farmers pockets. There
should be no delay. 1t should not re-
quire much of an effort to raise the
money necessary, especially when
cash bonus of l,5O0 is offered by the
business men of Princeton. Let
every farmer interested attend the
meeting next Saturday and come pre-
pared to do his part towards making
the project success.
