Creamery is
Completing Its
First Year
Local Institution Hasc Been Operated
Very Successfully ar.d Has
Been Aid to Community
The Farmers Co-Operative Cream
fly of this city is just completing its
first year of existence and a year that
has shown a tine growth of the busi
ness of the creamery and the in
creasing popularity of the Casco pro
ducts butter, cream, milk, butter
milk and creamed cottage cheese.
It was just a year ago, lacking a
few days that the building of the
plant was completed and the machin
ery installed that was to he used in
the buttermaking of the plant and
the organization of stockholders, com
prising 171 of the successful and
substantial farmers of the commun
ity prepared to take up the work of
operating the creamery.
The plant has more than justified
the highest hopes of the organizers
as it has served as an inspiration for
the development of a much greater
interest in the dairying industry over
the entire county and by the hand
ling of the products of the farm by
this able group of farmers, they
have made the plant a success and
assured the establishment of a safe
and dependable market for the farm
ers' products in a home owned and
operated plant.
The officers of the creamery com
pany comprise W. F. Nolle, as the
president; Henry F. Nolting, vice
president; H. L. Gayer, secretary and
E. H. Spangler. treasurer. The di
rectorate include the above named
officers and Nick Friedrich, John
Hobscheidt. Jr. and A. A. Weten
kamp, this board of seven members
having charge of the affairs of the
association.
In the opening year of its exist
ence the Farmers Co-Operative cream
ery has added much additional equip
ment for their work, special machin
ery for the making of cheese having
been secured in the year and in ad
dition a new building has been erect
ed to the south or the creamery
proper, which is used for the hand
ling of the poultry plant that is a
part of the new lines of activity of
this growing farmer owned business.
The local creamery has also been
fortunate in the fact that the selec
tion of Phillip Hoffman was made for
the managership of the creamery, as
he has proved himself a real manager
and one whose knowledge of the
creamery and its conduct has added
a great deal to the success of the
year just closing.
The plant here first started buying
cream on December 21st, 1S2S, and
was formally opened on December
27, 1&2S. a real notable occasion in
this city and a distinct advancement
for this section of the state in the
line of dairying industry.
The Journal is extending congrat
ulations to this splendid institution
on the success of the past year and
trusting that the coming year will
bring even a greater success and the
growing popularity of the Casco pro
ducts. TRIP VERY WEARING

The many old time friend3 here
of Mrs. Mary Wescott, will be pleas
ed to learn that she is showing some
signs of improvement today after
the tiring train trip from the west
coast that she has just passed
through. The patient was very much
weakened when reaching here from
California Wednesday night, but is
now reacting very nicely and seeni3
stronger and more rested than at any
time since reaching here. The pa
tient has not been the best of health
for the past few weeks and it is
hoped that in the pleasant surround
ings of the old home here that she
may soon show some improvement.
PRICES OF THIRTY YEARS
The farmers of the present day,
at least the younger ones, will be
interested in looking over a few of
the prices that were paid thirty
years ago for the product of the
corn and which is very much below
that of the present day prices. The
quotations on some of the farm prod
ucts at Omaha at that time were:
Beef steers sold at Omaha for
$5.40; top on hogs was $4.10; Chi
cago cash price on No. 2 wheat was
676S cents and corn was selling
there at 31 U cents for No. 2 yel
low. The early Christmas shopper can
find everything in readiness for their
selection of the cards for the season.
Order now and have them engTaved

his school experience were given by
