HENDERSON COUNTY FARMERS
USING CREAMERY ADVANTAGES
Signing Contracts for Delivering Dairy
Products Daily to Wagons of Blue
Ridge Creamery.

The nature and advantages of the
operations of the Blue Ridge Creamery
Fof Hendersonville are gradually be-
coming better known throughout Hen
derson county as a result of which the
creamery is now working on enlarged
plans and preparing for an extensive
business in the future.
In Connection with the Inauguration
of delivery service in Hendersonville
each day, the creamery will operate
five wagons 20 collect milk and cream
throughout the county, arrangements
having been made for this service at
The. beginning of the present year.
J. G. Morrow. who is in charge OF
the business, recently visited the great
err part of the county. educating tbs
people as to the nature of the work,
prices. etc., as a result of which he
signed contracts with several farmers
Who have agreed to furnish milk and
cream during the coming year For
the convenience of those who will fur.
nish this dairy product the creamery
willrun wagons daily in the county to
make the collections.
Mr.. Morrow states that a number of
farmers owning COWS hesitate in max.
ing agreements for the reason that
they cannot understand that it is moth.
ing nor than a business proposition
of selling milk and cream at a stated
price, the creamery only wanting the
assurance of a sufficient amount of the
products to justify the operation of the
plant.
An admirable new feature of the
creamery is the pasteurization process
Of purifying the milk before it is de-
livered to customers. This process
was practiced for a while by the White
Pine creamery formerly at Fletcher,
this being the first experience OF the
kind in the county.
The creamery is now in excellent
shape to handle a large quantity of
milk and rea as it has found a ready
market for its products.
