Setting out from Statesville for Charlotte one night recently on Captain Claude Morrison’s June Bug Special, The Observer noted a delay of several minutes at the Mooresville depot. After we got under way the captain was asked about it. “Oh,” was his response, “nothing but creamery butter. We have just loaded 3,000 pounds from the Mooresville Creamery, but that happens three or four times a week.”
The Mooresville Creamery was one of the pioneer establishments in this section, and it has been managed in a manner markedly successful. It operated its own ice plant for refrigerating express cars and ships its butter to points widely separated Express shipments from the Mooresville depot have become in recent months a material factor in increased freight revenues from the Old A. T. & O. Farmers organized the business there and farmers and business men carry it on.
