TO ESTABLISH )
CREAMERY
John B. Aqen Company Plans
improvements Of $4,000
i'm Local Plant.

When the present plans of the
John B. Agen Company are carried
out in this city another establish
ment of great Importance will have
been added to the list of Willmar's $
industries. The Agen company
some time ago decided to go into
the creamery business here, and the
preliminary work has now been
started. The plant will be located
in the basement of the present
building but next spring it will
have new and larger quarters when
two additions will be built. When
these additions are finished the
plant will be "a by 81 feet. two
stories high, with basement. The
plans Of expansion and improve
ment call for an expenditure of
more than $4,000.
The creamery will be equipped
with the latest and most sanitary
machinery. Mr.. Curran. the local
manager, will leave for the Twin
Cities the latter part of the week to
select the needed equipment and he
hopes to have everything in running
order about October Is. Cream
will be bought from shippers with
in a radius of 100 miles. and Mr..
Curran thinks he will have no
trouble in securing enough ma
terial to keep the plant going at
full capacity, during the busy sea-
son especially.
The Agen Company commenced
business in Willmar about 7 years
ago. The volume Of business done
has increased every year until dur
ing the season just closed it reached
1920, 900. No less than 73 carloads
Of butter and eggs were handled
here during the past season. This
creditable showing is due mostly to
the tireless energy of Mr.. Curran,
who has been in charge of the plant
almost from the beginning.
Locally the plant will be of
greater Importance than ever mas
much as it will give employment to
additional labor. The pay roll
which so far has amounted to about
5000 per week will be largely in
creased for the force will be more
than doubled.
The establishment of the local
creamery is in line with the policy
of the Agen Company to make all
the butter needed to supply the
heavy trade. The company is en-
joying a tremendous business on
the Pacific coast and also Alaska.
1t is estimated that it handles
about 80 per cent Of the butter and
egg export to that territory.
