THE WHITE GREEK CREAMERY
Company Of is Years High Standing
Should Be Supported


Editor of The Banner:-About if
teen years ago a creamery company
was organized in the town OF White
Creek, N. Y, known as the White
Creek Creamery Co. The stockhold-
ers were comprised of the most popu-
lar and thorough business men OF that
town. They were men of ability, hon
esty and integrity and were honored
and respected by all who knew them,
men who could master any situation
which might present itself III the pest
possible manner.
The creamery was ogranized and
commenced operation, when butter
was selling for lie per pound, which
today would look most ridiculous to
the producer, and despite the ups and
downs. which have confronted the SAID
company they today have paved their
way to a most successful business.
This company about one year ago
erected magnificent concrete struc'
ture in the central part of the village
which is sanitary in every detail, ana
which is now occupied by them
and enables the White Creek Cream
cry Co, to maintain the same stand
ard of excellency which made them
famous as a creamery company.
They are a company who are honor
ed by its trade, as one of fair deal
ing. and whom they are always ready
to patronize, because they have been
established for years, and where other
stock companies are seldom in bus
mess one year. Take as an example
the stock company which operated
at North SALISBURY, VT, the one at
South SALISBURY and the stock com
pany at Hoosick, N. Y, which failed
three times in fourteen months,
which is only a small percentage COM
pared with all the creameires within
radius of IL or Is miles. Show an
other company which has paid its pa
irons more promptly which has
treated it's patrons more literally.

The White Creek Creamery com
pany sent delegation to Albany to
confer with Miss NJ c. Jermain, for
the purpose of seeking a reduction
on the rent, and to induce her to put
the creamery building in a sanitary
condition. She fatty refused to do
so. After being notified by the Board
of Health, of the unsanitary condition
which existed, they also used their
influence to get Miss Jermain to as
sumo all responsibility and make and
sell all the butter at the same price
the White Creek Creamery company
was charging which was &c per ID.
But Miss Jermain declined the offer.
The company at this time was pay
ing $500 of an annual rent.
Now for the nominal rent OF about
5000 per year, and about $4,000 ex-
pended in repairs on old factory, and
at present advocating that butter can
be made for 21sc per pound, and still
realize a handsome profit, with only
about one-fourth the number of cows
which the old company was making
butter from, and still Miss Jermain
can make enough under those condit
ions, when she could not accept the
&c offer from the old company.
rule or Ruin" seems TO be the
motto. If any company should have
received the benefit from repairs, why
did not she make the long needed re
pairs for the old company, who had
paid her thousands OF dollars? While
all of those repairs are being made on
her own property, what Is being done
to guaranty any poor, or perhaps un
fortunate stakeholder, 5 or 80 pei

there was an array of legal talent
sent up from Albany by Miss JermaiI
to frame the constitution OF the new
company. They even rejected

was favored by some of the stock
holders, and were advised by the sal,
