Show A WORD ABOUT THE NEW CREMERY CO. To the Cream and Milk men of Mt. Pleasant and surrounding coun- try: There is some talk going- on about the new Co-operated Creamery some people having the idea that it is only Mr. P, J. Tvilling building it, and that he is intending to run it his own way; some people are even going 90 far as to say that a large Creamery Cream-ery company is behind Mr. Tvilling and when the creamery is running, Tvilling will turn the creamery and the Creamery Union over to that company, like it was done with the old Union when the Jensen creamery company came in here. Mr. Tvilling Tvill-ing was asked to clear those points - " for the public and here is his answer: "Gentlemen did you really believe that I am a second cook? Well I am glad to hear the people talk about the new Creamery; that shows me they are interested and your questions ques-tions give me a chance to put the plan of the new creamery before tne public, We are incorporated under the laws of Utah, to do Creamery and any other business we desire. We have through the vote of the shareholders selected some of your most active men, as directors , men you all know, President, L, C. Ras-' Ras-' mussen; Vice-president, Chris Ras mussen; treasurer, Alex Burnside; directors, Elijah McClanahan, P. H. Madsen, James Burton; all these men are good citizens, men interested in the uplifting of this wonderful valley, val-ley, men who know the value of this country as a dairy country. They have seen the necessity of a creamery backed and owned by the milk producers pro-ducers and as far as I am concerned, I only hold i hares in this company and I have only one vote, as our constitution and by-laws, only gives a shareholder one vote, no matter how many shares he holds, so you see there is no chance for one m;m to control or even hold the controlling interest, as no shareholder can hold any more shares than the amount of cows. It will never pay him to have more as he only gets I dividend from the amount of cows he sells milk from. If he is a share holdor and not sending any milk, he will not get any dividend, The milk producers not with us now aigue they are getting the benefit ben-efit of the high price the trust is paying and they say they will get it as long as they stay there, but I tell you right here some day next summer sum-mer when the trust is paying 22c for butterfat and the Sanpete Valley Creamery Co, is paying 25 to 27 cents don't you believe they will wish they was in with us? How we can give our customers that price I will explain to you, when butterfat goes below 28c in Salt Lake we will start and make cheese, and at the price cheese is selling at that time of year we can make 30c a lb of butterfat, and besides be-sides take care of our standard but-tsr but-tsr customers in Salt Lake and other places where our butter is sold, Of course we will buy milk from outsiders out-siders but there is no reason why we should pay them more than other creameries pay, and our shareholders sharehold-ers will have the benefit. So far as having sold all our shares I say we have a few left, but this month will see the sale closed. Everything seems in time to come our way. When 1 took over the A. U. Miner Farm and Creamery, now Sanpete Valley Dairy, the first day of August Aug-ust last there were seven customers selling cream totheMiaer Creamery and today we have over 200 patrons selling milk and cream. There is an old saying "in Union is strength'" I believe if those few who still hang back would join us, we would not only be benefitting ourselves, but we would be an example for the other Creamery sections in our Great State. |
