Answer to the so-caIled "other Side
Of the Situation"

the writer OF the so-called, other SIDE
of the situation" which appeared in
an issue of the Bennington Banner
under date of March q, 1912, over the
signature, "a Green Mountain Boy
ever stop to consider the fact that
Green Mountain Boys" were seldom
born and reared in New York? That
the Green Mountain Boys whose
names and deeds gave marked
epoch 10 our history upon whose pa !
gse yuu may find men, Who are al
ways loyal TO their country and fell
low men? They were men who
fought for their country and its cause
and research Of history will show that
never was there traitor which ever
bore the name of Green Mountain
Boyl
Was not grand old Gen. Stark one
of the most gallant men Of his day?
Was not Col. Seth Warner, whose
name shall shine on the pages Of his
tory forever, the true type Of Green
Mountain Boy? Gentlemen! when
such men as the writer of that arti-
Gle, to which have just referred pla-
ces himself on the same basis as our
honored dead, whose name we should
not allow to be furnished, as they
were heroes not traitors, to their
cause.
"Rule or Ruin Problem was Openly
Admitted"
We are glad to read the open ad-
mission in the article of March q,
in which issue you have confirmed
the rule, or ruin problem, perhaps as
fully as we could, where you stated
that Miss Jermain's orders were to
disband and reorganize. What right
did Miss Jermain have to order the
White Creek Creamery company to
disband? Does this not tend to show
that she was bound to dictate? Why
should Miss Jermain insist upon own
ing stock in the White Greek Cream
cry company? AS what stock was
owned by the Jermains was sold
several years ago at public auction at
40 cents on the dollar? If Miss Jer-
main considered the stock of the
White Creek Creamery company a
gold mine, why did she allow the
stock to be sold for such a small fig
ure? Why should you stockholders
of this new enterprise book on such
bright and prosperous future, when
you thoroughly understand as you
have already admitted, her motto is,
"disband?"
ignoring the Business Ability Of
the New Company"
The White Creek Creamery Com
pany sent a committee to Albany, n
Y, for the purpose of purchasing the
Jermain creamery building, which
Miss Jermain offered to sell them Tor
the sum of $4,000 which the commit
tee agreed to accept. But on the ar.
rival home of the said committee
they found telegram awaiting them
in which she refused to sell the prop
erty which ten hours previously she
had agreed to sell to the White Creek
Creamery company. Was that an act
of principle? / should Judge, that
when the said array of legal talent
was despatched up to White Creek by
Miss Jermain, that she had ignored
the ability of the business managers
who were comprised OF once success
full politicians, and one!, a lawyer Of
marked ability.
!, hereby, challenge the writer Of
the said article of the 9th to come
out Of his shell and debate the follow
ing questions through the press fol
the benefit of the public. Did no
Miss Jermain ignore the order of tn,
Board of Health, in regard to tn,
unsanitary condition of her bulidinl
until the White Greek Dreamer,
Company's lease expired? Did no
loyal representative use every avail
able means to prevent the Whit,
Creek Creamery company from NOV
ing their machinery which they ha,
bought and paid for? Has he show
the public, that should dissatisfac
ton arise, that this new compan,
could move their machinery at an,
time they should ever wish to? Di,
he show the public what had beel
done to guarantee the stockholders
Did he call attention to the publ
that the White Greek Creamery con
pany had paid their patrons from 81
500 to $4,000 per month? Did he tel
the public that ever since the oil
company had abandoned the old fac
tory that Miss Jermain has cause
her milk to be drawn to Eagle Bridg,
when the management of the old COZ
pany offered her the same price {
leave her milk at their creamery 1
White Creek as she received afte
drawing 1t to Eagle Bridge? Did
tell the public that Miss Jermai
bought butter at the factory OF tn
White Creek Creamery company "a
the same price, as those. who wer
patronizing the company, paid.
], hereby, wish to inform the pul
lie, that am in no way, shape, q
manner, stakeholder in either con
pany, and am writing this artlcl
| without fear or favor OF either IA,
ton, and also challenge the write
OF the other side, to come forwar
and make the same declaration
| Again, asking the author OF the othe
! side to come out and show what
great and glorious amount OF goo
which he contends that Miss Jermai
has done for the town of White Cree
as ! solomnly believe he is the onl
