The Proposed New Creamery

At the recent meeting of the Pomological Society the proposed creamery and cheese factory in Ann Arbor was one of the topics of discussion and it was quite generally favored by those present. E. Baur thought that such a creamery would prove successful and would induce the farmers to raise more stock. Many families on a few acres of land would be enabled to make a living by keeping cows. The whole town, consumer and producer would be benefited by the new industry. W. C. Olcutt, of Ypsilanti, who was present representing a Chicago firm of butter and cheese apparatus' manufacturers, thought Ann Arbor was an excellent point for the proposed factory. The way to obtain such a factory was to organize a stock company. The firm he represented was also fitting up cold storage rooms in connection with creameries,' so that a place could be fitted up for storing fruit until the usual glut in the market had passed. John II. Sperry thought Ann Arbor could afford such a creamery and should go in for it. All the ladies favored it and so, naturally, did Judge Kinne. The society passed a resolution favoring a creamery and cheese factory and urged the formation of a stock company. As Secretary Baur, very appropriately says: "It is for the farmers and capitalists to say whether this factory shall be a reality."
