Progress of the Creamery.

> about three months, we have estab
lished a reputation for our butter tina
J makes US feel as though the outlet TO
. good butter was unlimited. have al
ways felt that great deal of Northern
and Western butter that has beei
shipped to Southern markets was under
graded and judging from the demand
we have created, we are more than ev'
er convinced that this Is true.
| 1t usually takes from one to two
years to get established markets. but
already such conditions exist and ir
only sixty days. We are taking chances
of ruinlng this reputation at the pres
ent time by buying from outside cream
cries to till orders. We have tried out
two Northern and Western creameries
and find that 1t is inferior to what we
are producing.
We are glad to know that q number
of farmers are contemplating going in.
to the dairy business and those we al-
ready have will increase their outputs
and for that reason we are trying to
supply our customers.
If we make an effort to take care Vt
these merchants through the winter
they will naturally feel like giving US
their entire butter business in the
spring and summer when we have
surplus. BY selling our own butter in
stead Of consigning to commission mer-
chants it means saving of 113sto 2
cents per pound, which goes to the pro-
ducer. and if the creamery only makes
$4,000 pounds Of butter per year it
means 81, 100000 extra that the produ-
GERS get. so you can readily see what
this means to you.
Mr.. Farmer, we do not claim all the
honors for making good batter. Those
who have sold US their cream have
made this possible by giving us good,
clean and wholesome products, making
it possible for US to produce a product |

There are number of people who
could be patronizing the creamery who

when butter is scarce, which the cream

Market conditions are the most ideal

here is an unlimited demand for sweet
