SILETZ CHEESE FACTORY
STARTS OPERATIONS

After long period of idleness, the
Siletz Cheese Factory again began
| operations on July 18th. During the
war period. the opening OF the factory
had at times been proposed, but diff
Guilty was encountered In securing
cheese maker.
A thorough canvass OF the adjacent
territory by Mr.. Larsen, Mr.. Mowery
and the County Agent revealed the
fact that there was an abundant guam
tity OF milk available for the factory.
After looking the entire state over a
very capable cheese maker in the
person of Rudolph Ruprecht was
found right at home. Mr.. Ruprecht
was at once engaged.
1t is expected that the factory can
be operated at least for a period of
four months on volume of from three
to four thousand pounds Of milk daily.
1t Is indeed, a source of Satisfaction
to local people to see the Siletz Cheese
Factory again in operation. The ST.
letz Valley should be producing from
fifteen TO twenty thousand pounds of
milk for cheese manufactured daily,
and there is no one factor that will
aid in the accomplishment of this
fact as quickly as the actual operation
OF the Siletz plant
While the operation of the factory
and the making Of the cheese is an
| hearty cooperation of the patrons OF
| the factory, every other man and
woman in Lincoln County bears an
important relationship pointing to-
ward the success of this operation,
and that Is, the cheese produced by
this factory and the other factories OF
the county must be sold. Consequently
every person in the county should
cat Lincoln County Cheese. Insist
that your merchant carry Lincoln
County cheese. Insist that the quality
of Lincoln County cheese be the very
best.
Heretofore cheese has been used by
| Lincoln County people mCrN as lux
ury than as an everyday food product
yet at the same time it is much
cheaper when the food vslue Is con-
sidered than other foods that we eat
daily, for instance, we pay % cents a
pound for beefsteak and % cents a
pound for cheese, at retail, but COM
pairing the food value, we find that
one pound of cheese is equal to 2R
pounds Of beefsteak; in similar
way, one pound of cheese Is equal to
As pounds of chicken, Il u pounds Of
ham, 7 pounds of Goldfish, 25 eggs,
i3 1-3 pounds of beans. 8 pounds of
peas 10 2-3 pounds Of tomatoes.
