CREAMERY MEN MEET
Stockholders Vote to Incor-
porate AS a Cooperative
Concern.

By an almost unanimous vote
stockholders OF the Eagle River
Creamery company voted at a
meeting held at the court house
last week Thursday, to change
it into a cooperative concern.
Out of 33 stockholders present
81 voted to make the change.
1t was shown to the stock
holders at the morning and after
noon meetings that cooperation
and team work invariably won,
and as the creamery was now
in splendid condition, now was
the proper time to make it still
stronger. The splendid argu-
ments advanced for the change
by Prof. F. G. Kraege, AN expert
on cooperative concerns, showed
the stockholders the benefits to
be derived from the change, pro-
viding of course they employed
team work.
Officers elected were:
6. F. Sanborn, president.
c. Draeger, vice-president.
w. Herreman, secv-treas.
Directors: Hans Hanson, Jno.
Carlson, John Korpal, Peter
Hedeen.
By resolution the articles of
association were amended so
that the capital stock of the
company be placed at $4,000.
The Eagle River creamery has
a splendid business dur
ing the past year, and under its
present management will GER
tainlv show the stockholders a
bunch of dividends before long.
