cessful creamery operator. For the
past nine years he has been manager

its business rank as second to the
best creamery concern east of the

Mr.. Wilde bought a considerable
amount of Marion County Creamery
Co. stock and closed contract with
the directors to take personal super
vision and management of the new
enterprise.
1t is hoped that the creamery will
be in operation within six weeks

Anthony Farms, has been elected
president of the corporation. Mr..
Beuchler has successfully managed the
Anthony Farms for several years and
is farmer of proven ability.
Mr.. F. w. Ditto of Ocala, is vice
president. Mr.. Ditto is well known
and popular real estate and fire insur-
ance man. He will be quite an asset
to the corporation with his wide ac-
quaintance over Marion county.

has been made out and plans have
been laid to secure the building for

foot to make arrangements with the
Ocala Ice & Packing Company to re-
frigerate the creamery by giving it
pipe line of cold brine from the ice
factory which is directly across the
railroad from the proposed location.
This will save the new corporation
q neat sum on the cost of equipment,
as it viii eliminate the necessity of a
refrigerating plant of its own.
Plans have been made to receive
milk both by rail and truck so that
the farmers all over the county will
be able to reach the creamery. Mr..
Wilde has returned to Charlottesville
to make arrangements to move to
Ocala.
The new creamery company is the
result of movement started in this
county by Mr.. K. C. Moore, county
agricultural agent, who has worked
hard on the project since he took up
his duties here as agent. Much hard
work has been done by the temporary
directors and officers who were DR.. H.
