authorized by Mr. j.. II. Moses.
general manager Of the Sumter Ice
and Fuel company to publish the
gratifying information that this
corporation: has purchased the
brick for the. home of a modern
and up-to-date creamery which
will be located in connection with
and as branch Of the Sumter Ice
and Fuel company.
Mr.. Moses further said that all
arrangements have been completed
for the installation Of the latest
improved butter making machin-
cry and that the establishment OF
this new and important Sumter
enterprise will be pushed forward
with all possible haste. In COM
mentiDg on Mr.. Moses releasing
this information for publication the
secretary said:
.The new creamery will have for
its chief object the manufacture
of a high class product OF butter,
will have the ample financial back
ing of the Sumter Ice and Fuel
company which has a. paid in cap
ital stock of one hundred thousand
dollars and thousands of dollars
of reserve capital. and everybody
in Sumter county knows that with
Mr. E. H. Moses as supervising and
financial agent of this new cream
cry it will be success if the farm
ers of this and adjoining counties
will only do their part in backing,
up this enterprise which is beins,
established to help make Sumter
one of the best butter fat markets
in the South and to help the farm
ers in fighting the boil weevil with
the "stepmother Of the human
race-the dairy cow as a im-
portant factor in diversification Of
farm products.
Mr.. Moses has made success OF
every enterprise he has managed
and has made success of his own
business affairs. The highest pre-
vailing market prices will be paid
our farmers at all times for butter
fat and the Sumter Ice and Fuel
company will be fully prepared TO
pay as much as any creamery in
this state for butter fat. With
Sumter having two modern butter
fat and milk creameries at an early
date the farmers Of Sumter and ad-
joining counties are. assured OF a
permanent market for dairy pro-
duets and can go ahead putting in
dairy cows and getting ready to
make money as there is now no
doubt that Sumter viii have a
splendid market for butter fat.
The new creamery will be in
stalled in brick building and will
have every sanitary and up-to-date
method of processing in the manu-
facture Of butter. Further part1-
culars Of this desirable enterprise
will be given out later on. In the
meantime. Mr.. Moses IS sss gettlng
things shaped up as rapidly as
possible and it. viii be but a COM
paratiye1y short while before the
Sumter Ice and Fuel company will
be buying thousands Of dollars OF
butter fat and selling many thou
sands OF dollars worth Of first class
butter, thereby helping to make
thousands of dollars of Sumter
county money, work at nome, and
board at the same place we do.
Sumter and vicinity can and doubt
less will. for some time consume
all of the butter manufactured IN
the two Sumter creaiaeries and tf1at
will mean many Thousands OF dol
lars annually kept in Sumter that
now go out of the city and county
for butter.
