The (Neb.) following from the Arnold Sentinel, tells of one of the fine lar :e creameries that has been in that locality and which a real1 boon to the farming erected will be interests of that locality and which has the strong support of the resi dents of that section of the state: "The next issue of the Sentinel will carry the announcement of the opening date of Arnold's New Cream ery, and from what we can see and 1ea.n1, we win suieiy uivc buihchuub to be proud of, and something we should lend an undivided support, "Dick Baker, secretary and treas day. and said, 'flt is certainly a pleasure to install an iceing machine in a building like this, as it is the best creamery I have stepped into for it's size. "It has been several months since the Peterson Company sent men into this community to sell stock for a home creamery, and the idea tool; root immediately, and the stock was sold in a little over a week. Later Andy Wineburg landed on the job as construction engineer, and since that time work has oever hesitated, and in a little over sixty days we find a new creamery building has been reared in what has been a vacant ground for years; a building of the finest construction, and one that any individual or firm might be proud to own. "Now, Mr. Wineburg informs us the building is complete, and in a few days the machinery will be in stalled and the opening date will be announced in the next issue of our paper, and as we noted above, now is the time for not only those who have invested their money in the concern, but those who furnish the raw product for its operation, to boost it to a finish. This has always been the attitude of Arnold people, regarding anything that seems right, and we predict that they will see to it that Arnold's new institution goes over the top."
