The Homeric docked last night. 1t

The division among the passengers
was about equal. some saying that ev-

CARBON co. CREAM
cry WILL HAVE A
STORAGE PLANT

The Carbon County Creamery Com-
pany is to enlarge and extend it's
business according to Mr.. Gerondale,
the manager of the company.
In order to supply the demands for
their product, it is necessary TO en-
large the plant and TO put in a stor-
age room for eggs. This win enable
the company to buy the surplus stock
of the farmers in the spring and sum
,mer and store them FOR wintc- sarpiy
when eggs are scarce and to ~ lisl
a market foe the farmers.
Mr.. Gerondale stated this would
also effect quite saving to the LEGAL
merchants and to consumers in stor-
ing the eggs here rather than having
them shipped out and stored and then
having them re-shipped back to Red
Lodge. He stated besides that it will
enable the merchant to take out any
such supplies as they need from day
to day and they will be consumed be-
fore they are allowed to grow stale.
This storage plant will be made large
enough, according to Mr.. Gerondale
so that the company may accumulate a
car load of butter at time before it
is shipped to the eastern market. This
will also afford a local market for
more cream and increase the buying
power of the products.
1t is stated that this will enable the
company to go into the poultry bust
ness. Last season the creamery COM
pany shipped two half cars Of turkeys
and expect to ship at least four or FIVE
cars this year to the eastern markets.
According to Mr.. Gerondale the outlay
for this new building will be six thous-
and dollars. Work has already start
ed on the foundation and the plant
will be completed as soon as possible.
Mr.. Gerondale stated that this would
not interfere with the local trade and
will continue to give the same prompt
service that they have given in the
past.
