THE SANITARY MILK CO.

ORGANIZED FOR A CREAMERY AND MILK SUPPLY DEPOT.

 

Officers of the Company Elected and New Machinery Purchased. Contracts for $30,00 of Milk Yearly.

 

 The Sanitary Milk Co. was organized in this city Friday. This is the company which is to organize the creamery and milk supply station in this city. The officers of the new company are: President, Junius E. Beal; vice president, Dr. C. G. Darling; manager, J. M. Travis ; secretary and treasurer, U. G. Darling. The articles of incorporation have been filed at Lansing and the capital stock is placed at $10,000.

The new creamery will use half of the present Courier building as its place of business, accupaying the south half and removing Mr. Beal's present office. It is expected that some time during the summer an addition will be built to the building. The most improved machinery was ordered yesterday, the Chicago Creamery Package Co., walking off with the contract. The machinery includes a costly separator, sterilizing ovens, pasteurizing machinery and large cheese and butter making machinery. An ice machine, costing $800, with a capacity for producing two and a half tons a day is a part of the equipment.

The new plant will be open for operation May. 1, and will have an immediate capacity of 10,000 pounds of milk daily. The company expects to manufacture all kinds of dairy products and to keep them on sale. Milk will be delivered at the houses of patrons about the city, and in addition to the general delivery wagons, a special delivery wagon will be kept to deliver milk at other times than the regular time of delivery. The milk is to be either sterilized or pasteurized and when the machinery is in working order, the public will be invited in to see the impurities taken from the milk. Contracts have already made for the delivery of $30,000 worth of milk a year.
