“Newton Creamery
Talk,” first printed in the Enterprise and then reprinted in the Hickory Daily
Record on Sept. 26, 1916
The meeting of the farmers
Saturday to discuss the creamery proposition resulted in a decision to locate
the plant at Newton and a committee was appointed to meet tonight to draft a
charter and appoint a sub-committee on location.
The charger
committee is composed of W.B. Gaither, L.H. Seitz, H.P. Lutza, A.D. Haren,
P.P.E. Fry, J.Y. Killian and Thomas Edwards. These will meet tonight in W.B.
Gaither’s office and complete the charter amendments.
They are to appoint
the sub-committee, which will investigate the question of a site, and will
consider temporary locations until a permanent building can be erected.
The meeting was
well attended and about 400 cows were reported with $2,500 of stock subscribed.
The committee will solicit a few more shares of stock to complete the necessary
capital.
Newton is very much
pleased with the decision of the farmers and is glad that the creamery is to be
located here.
The number of cows
pledged does not include a good many that will later be brought into the
creamery herd. The Dutch Dairy Farm with their splendid herds will not come in
for a time, being under contract to furnish cream. A good many more than 400
will eventually be supplying the creamery.
