HOTcHkISS MEN HOLD MEET
ING TO ESTABLISH CREAMERY

About rs or so enthusiastic boosters
for the creamery for Hotchkiss were
present at the meeting held at The
Rex theater, last Saturday afternoon
and it was decided that one of the
greatest needs of the town and country
come that would bring a little cash at
frequent periods. If the farmer is
receiving little money all through
the year, it means that the whole
country would soon be on cash basis.
just as the farmer is considered the
foundation of country. selling pro-
ducts of the farm for cash is the foun
dation of the farmer. Help the farmer
and you help every other line of busi-
ness.
A creamery is one of the sure means
of giving the farmer an income and
the sense of the meeting was all in
favor of getting busy at once and start
a creamery. Committees were appoint
ed to ascertain the number Of cows
available and to solicit subscriptions
among the farmers and business men
to raise about $4,000. II successful IN
getting money subscribed. we will soon
have a creamery in operation as the
number of cows here and In the Craw-
ford country can and will be increased
to the number required.
The above article is taken from the
Hotchkiss Herald. Saturday Thos.
Blackwell was in Delta and paid the
Independent office call. and when
asked as to the prospects for cream
cry, he said that it now looked as
though there would be no trouble I'm
raising the small amount OF capital
required. That the Hotchkiss ice
plant had been secured to furnish the
power needed and also room for carry
ing on the business. Mr.. Blackwell
was enthusiastic about the new indus
try and said that he believed that the
matter of worrying every year about
frost in the springtime and prices in
marketing time was a thing of the
past for the Hotchkiss section

but agricultural visions. The young
man who has inherited land and some
money or has had big boost from
ma and pa will have an easier time
and he will soon be rich IL he does
not lose his head financially or his
ambition to work about 300 days OF
the year There will be no difference
after a short time between the young
man who started out with nothing.
