The Cabarrus Creamery Company, with headquarters in this city, is the latest business enterprise to be organized in Concord. Organization of the company was begun several weeks ago and was completed this week with stockholders met and perfected a permanent organization.

At the stockholders meeting the following officers were chosen:

President—Dr. T.N. Spencer.

Vice President—C.H. Barrier.

Secretary—H.E. Baker.

Treasurer—C.W. Swink.

Directors—F.C. Niblock, Dr. J.V. Davis, J.O. Moose, Henderson Litaker and W.D. Yorke.

The directors of the organization met Friday and with the officers’ outlined plans for the company. The first step by the company will be the purchase of a lot for the home of the organization. A committee was appointed at the meeting of the directors to secure the lot, and the directors further ordered that as soon as the lot is secured work be started on the home of the company.

It was announced at the meeting that so far $10,500 has been paid into the company and the subscription books will be left upon until $15,000 capital stock has been subscribed.

The company has already received its charter and incorporation papers are now functioning to a certain extent. Mr. C.H. Barrier will purchase cream for the company until it gets its permanent quarters.

A number of prominent business men of the city and quite a number of farmers of the county are members of the organization that organized the creamery company. Creameries have paid in other sections of the State, it is pointed out by the officers, and there is every reason to believe that one in Concord will prove a good investment.

Officers of the company declare they expect to raise the rest of the capital stock within the next several weeks.

If suitable quarters can be secured, it is probable that the company will purchase them. Otherwise a lot will be secured and a new building erected.
