Mr. George H. Perry, manager of
the Swift Packing Co., at this place,
returned Monday from trip up the
state through Cadillac and Traverse
City where he has been securing new
trade arrangements for his company.
At Cadillac he has been negotiating
for plat Of ground between the Ann
Arbor and G. r. & |. tracks where a
new churning station could be estab-
lished which would take care of the
products brought in over both lines
of railway. This would not interfere
particularly with the receipts Of the
Alma plant, but would greatly reduce
the expense of express and freight
shipments in the development of the
new territory. A NV churning and
creamery equipment is now being
placed in this plant to better care
for the established trade.
