About Arrangement And Plans.

After ten months If hard work, get

bia road, is now prepared to look after

in the dairy business in New York

Establishing the Magnolia Dairy given
this city and section one of the most
complete dairy farms to be found in
the south anywhere, and a business
that not only speaks well for the
thrift of the owners but will be o,
splendid advertisement for the cut
over pine lands.
Mr.. Collier disposed of his business
in New York few years ago and
came south looking for a desirable
location to establish a dairy farm
After travelling extensively over the
southern states and into Mexico, he
was so impressed with the climate Of
Hattiesburg and the pure artesian wa
ter to be had, that he decided to 10.
cate here, engaging in another line of
business until he could find a suitable
property to purchase. He bought 10
acres in stumps on the Columbia road
and the first year began to improve
the place, with what success. a visit
to his place alone will reveal. The
purchase of the 19 acres was just the
beginning, however and a short time
after he purchased 1000 acres two
miles from his present place. This
large piece of land will be developed
as fast as possible and is intended to
eventually be the producing plant of
the Magnolia Dairy, the milk to be
brought to the place nearer town from
which 1t will be marketed

conveniences of the dairies of the

chief consideration in the conducting
of a dairy business and will always
be paramount at the Magnolia Dairy.

The creamery is a compact little
plant where the milk is separated and
bottled, the churning done and the
butter moulded, and also contains the
specially designed refrigerator for the
keeping of the products. Under the
same roof is the power plant, a small
gasoline engine, which drives a pump.

the churn and separator. The cream
cry is thoroughly screened and cooled
and is absolutely odorless, an addi-
tional evidence of the care taken in
the preparation of the product before
it goes to the consumer.
Bottles Made to Order.
The bottles used by the Magnolia
Dairy were manufactured especially
for them with the names of the dairy
and proprietors blown in the bottle.
and a patent cap for the bottles was
gotten at about four times the cost of
the regular caps. The cap is made
