CREAM 



Farmers Creamery Company board 



of directors set the date of their annual 

 membership meeting for December 17. 

 The meeting will be held in Bloom- 

 ington and will be an all day affair 

 according to Harold W. Enns, presi- 

 dent. 



One thing leads to another in the 



creamery business like any other enter- 

 prise. Cream truck drivers for the 

 Bloomington plant have been consis- 

 tently gaining business during the sum- 

 mer this year by establishing a quota 

 for themselves one month and over- 

 shooting it the next. Manager Forrest 

 Fairchild found himself making good 

 on a promise to take the drivers to a 

 big league baseball game if they made 

 their cjuotas in July. True to form. 

 Doc" picked a bargain, for the game 

 selected was the 15-inning Cubs and 

 Giants tussle. "Dave" Smith from the 

 IPC Central Cutting Plant acted as 

 guide while the party was in Chicago. 



With a larger number of patrons 



sending cream to the Farmers Cream- 

 ery, all hands and some of the equip- 

 ment were taxed to capacity this sum- 

 mer. A change in the refrigeration 

 system is calculated to increase its 

 efficiency by about 10^>. The refrig- 

 eration machine as it was formerly set 

 up would deliver enough cold to off-
