A Growing Enterprise
While It is n source of pleasure to
know that the various lines of mercan
tile business usually found in a city of
a few thousand inhabitants are well
represented in Alliance, we are de
lighted to note an increase in the num
ber, or capacity, of establishments
that increase the amount of business
of the city. The Alliance Creamery
aud Produce company belongs to this
latter class. As the business enlarges
the number of employes nl this point
will increase and help to add to the
city's population and business. The
number of persons that will bo em
ployed hero the coming summer will bo
about fifteen,
Through the courtesy of W. E.
Spencer, the accomodating manager,
we had the ptivllcge a few days since
of inspecting the plant. We have to
some extent inspected the plants of the
Fairmont and the David Cole (former
ly the Beatrice) creameries at Omaha,
and while the Alliance plant is not vet
as large, wo are sure it is fully as well
equipped as either of the others named,
The equipment is of the most modern
type, and the interior of the station
presented an appeal ance of cleanli
ness not excelled in any similar place
where wo have ever been.
It is not possible for us now to give
a detailed description of the station
and its equipment, but we wish to
mention a few things in which .many of
The Herald readers will be interested.
While some creameries still use ice for
cooling purposes, that method has bo
come obsolete where they aro fully
up-to-date, and so is not used here,
but instead a refrigerating plant of the
latest improved kind is used in cooling
cream and butter and also in the cold
storage warehouse, This is more con
venient and cleanlier than the old
fashioned way of ice refrigeration. An
important part of making good butter
is the "ripening" of the cream. Under
the nresent system the cream is held a
proper length of time at a low temper
ature. Thus it becomes ripe without
becoming taiicid, In addition to the
ripencr already iu use. another was be
ing installed on the day that we visited
the plant. Another important item in
modet ti butter making is the sterilizing
of the cream. All cream, or butter
fat, used at the Alliance Creamery is
scientifically pasteurised beforo churn
ing. The capacity has" been increased
until it is now 10,000 pounds of butter
per day, an amount considerably in
excess of the present output. The
amount of butter churned in 1908 was
rather more than 235,000 pounds; this
year it will probably he double that.
In addition to receiving cream direct
from farmers in this vicinity, there
are about fifty receiving stations at
other towns within a radius of about
two hundred miles. As the price paid
for butter fat is practically the same as
is paid at Lincoln and Omaha, there is
a large territory tributary to Alliance.
The amount of cream sold in this ter
ritory doubled last vear, as a result, no
doubt, of this creamery being in the
field.
In addition to butter making this
company has an extensive produce
business, handling eggs and potatoes.
They have facilities for holding eggs in
cold storage, which they expect to do
for the first time the coming summer,
and will give special attention to this
department. They have been shipping
butter 'in car load lots, and will prob
ably do the same with poultry pro
ducts this year.
This writetip would not ue as com
plete as it should be if we did not men
tion that the stock of the Alliance
Crcamety and Produce company is
held entirely by western Nebraska
capital, being held by business men
and farmers of tins ana neigiinonng
counties. The officers and directors
are as follows: C. A. Newberry, Pros. J
F. E. Reddish, V. Pros.; R. L. Harris,
Trcas.; A. L. Gregg, cashier; W. E.
Spencer, Sec. and Gen. manager; A.
S. Reid, Frank Uauer, R. L. Harris,
