j. G. Paulsen, representing the Jersey
Dry Milk and Creameries Cooperation
Tailed to secure the approval of the
Commercial Club at a meeting held
Monday evening for the purpose Of
discussing his proposition. Neither did
the club disapprove Of Mr.. Paulson's
enterprise. On account Of the small
attendance and for the further reason
that not enough was known about the
enterprise, the members felt that it
would not be just for them to go on
record approving it and encouraging
business men and others to take stock
where possibly it might develop later
that the proposition was not feasible
one.
All Ready To incorporate
b. Mr.. Paulson told those present that
articles of incorporation with capital
stock of 100000 had been prepared
and the Securities Commission had
promised to pass the articles so there
was nothing in the way Of getting the
corporation completely organized and
started at an early day.
The process to be used in the New Uln
plant, if such ever be established here,
lis the same as that Of the st. Paul Dry
Milk Company. The name Of the
inventor of this process is Mclaughlin.
There is a similar factory known as
the Minneapolis Dry Milk Company
with a branch office at Anoka. The
product of the latter concern is in
powder form, whereas the product OF the
factory at st. Paul is granular in shape.
49, uantii s-of
water atlls granular product which is
very soluble will be TRANSIT formed into
milk. s5ss
If the plant should be located here
then it is the intention to have the
milk shipped from nearby creamery
stations and possibly condensing sta
tons will be opened at different sta
tions where q large quantity Of milk
us being marketed. This condensed
product will then be shipped here to be
finally finished.
Schumacher Brewery Secured
B Those Who took part in the discussion
were T. Liiesclh Arthur Book, e: a.
|Stelz, Geo. d. Erickson, Frank Behnke
and Il. Hess. Mr.. Paulson, also
Stated that the company had secured
the former Schlnucker brewery prop
erty for the proposed plant and that
if for any reason they would not get
enough financial backing here they
would establish the. plant further west,
probably at Sleepy Eye, and that they
would then use the brewery property
for a cream station and cold storage
plant, for which purpose the property
| is very we'll adapted. Mr.. Pa ulson ais also
stated that as soon as he had the financial
:. = : ! ~ s - -,
backing from the business men that he
would then call a mass meeting OF the
farmers tributary to New Ulm fol
the purpose Of soliciting their support
also. It is his claim and contention
that dry milk companies can pay a
better price for milk and cream than
is being paid by local creameries.
Possibly Mr. Paulson is going at the
proposition in the wrong way. If he
would be able to convince the farmers
that he had a good proposition and
would get their support he would have
absolutely no trouble whatever in getting
the financial backing Of the business
men and other citizens.
