GREAT. SUCCESS AT MANDAN

According to reports received
Thursday the Mandan Creamery 4
Produce Co. received $4,000 eggs that
day. The same report says that the
company is shipping two carloads
each week of eggs to the Twin Cities.
This, in addition to ear and butter,
makes a large volume of business for
the new concern.
H. S. Russell of Dickinson and H.
C. Schultz Of Glen Ullin are the big
men in the Mandan Creamery e. Pro-
duce Co.. They have the most sani-
tary plant in North Dakota and are
located near the depot. The plant
opened about two months ago and is
already doing a tremendous business.
1t will be of special interest to u
readers to know that the boiler for
this model creamery and cold storage
plant was installed by the Dickinson
Fire & Pressed Brick Co. under the
supervision of Carl Shaffer.
At any time when Dickinson people
are in Mandan they want to be sure
to call at the creamery plant, on front
street, about a block west of the Inter
Ocean hotel. Manager H. S. Russell
will be pleased to see any of the
friends from his home city.
