COOL PLACES IN THE CREAMERY

A Star reporter stopped at the
Creamery the other afternoon to see
if it was running smoothly. 1t was.
First thing to see was Miss Leone
Brooks in the cashiers Office, check
ing of bottles, cans and packages, and
soon as she had minute to spare, she
began reading the Ocala Evening
Star, which the carrier boy had just
brought in.
Stepping down inside the workroom,
the reporter found everything busy
as bee and steady as a gyrometer.
The room was crowded with milk
cans, leaving only little paths between
for the men to walk-sure sign of big
business.
Mr.. H. L. Shearer took the reporter
in hand and showed him the icecream
machine and the butter machine, both
turning out the best in the line If
the reporter had only had a good, hot
hoecake to match the butter
Mr.. Shearer took the reporter into
little room to one side. 1t had been
a warm day, so the scribe had taken
off his undies, and missed them the
instant he was in the room. The re-
porter kept between Mr.. Shearer and
the door, for if Mr.. S. had forgetfully
gone off and locked the door, the
creamery would have been more like a
packing house next morning. This
room was stored with ice cream, but
ter and milk, all ready to go to the
customers.
There was another, smaller room tc
one side, and when Mr.. Shearer open.
ed the door to it and pushed the re,
porter partly inside, it was so much
colder than the fyst room that while
the reporters nose and knees begar
to freeze in the second room, the per
spiration started on his back in tht
first room. Mr.. Shearer pulled hin
out before he could freeze as stiff a.
an Arctic explorer. Safely back in tn,
first room, the reporter was given Z;
bottle of ice-cold milk to thaw hin
self out.
The creamery is doing good bust
ness and it increases every day. l
fills long-felt want, about eight in
ches below your goozle.
Beside Mr.. Shearer and Miss Leone
the indispensables at the creamer
are Oscar Stuart, Fenton Bitch, T. {
Wilson and Nick Barrineau. There
also colored man, names McCanct
who the whole staff insisted be put o
the honor roll, for they say they can
very well get along without Mac.
