CREAMERY
COMP AMY
To Commence Operation In
Mt. Vernon
In The Old Mill Building On
Gambler St.
Licking County Men Interest
In Project
viii Mean Much For BuSi-
ness In The City
As 1t viii Bring Many Farm
GfS To Town

The Licking County Creamery Co.
of Newark, Ohio, will establish a
creamery in Mt. Vernon in a very
short time if negotiations, which are
row under way, can be fayorably ter
minated. The plan, at present, is to
convert the old Quail mill building on
West Gambler street, into 3, creamery
and to operate it on a rather large
scale. Every present indication points
to the ultimate success of the project
1t will be a great help to Mt. Vernon
and also to farmers residing through
out the county.
The advantage to Mt. Vernon will
not be in the number of men employed
at the creamery, but the fact that it
will necessitate the farmers coming
to town with their cream and this will
serve to stimulate business. The es-
tablishment will employ but few
people.
The new industry for Mt. Vernon
is the result of activity on the part
of the Mt. Vernon Citizens Associa-
ton.
When the proposition was first
brought up for consideration, the
creamery company required that they
be shown that enough cows could be
guaranteed them They required the
guarantee of milk from about $50
COWS and asked that a canvass be
made in order to ascertain whether
or not this number could be secured.
A canvass was made and there was
little difficulty in securing plenty of
milk and cream
While no Mt. Vernon men are
financially connected with the cream
cry, number of progressive citizens
are working to promote the new in
dustry and to secure it's location here.
The Licking County Creamery Co.
has successfully operated a plant near
Newark for a number Of years and
will continue their operations there
even though the creamery is estab-
lished in Mt Vernon.
