 The creamery industry is no longer an experiment. Pros- 

 perity has followed in its footsteps, and land values have in- 

 creased when it has been conducted rightly. Hence, the creamery 

 should be looked upon as a public institution, like a court house, 

 postoffice or school, and be built neatly, solidly and permanently, 

 even at a greater expense. On the front cover is shown the 

 facade of a Danish co-operative creamery. I am glad to note 

 that during the last fifteen years similar substantial creameries 



have been built in the West. 

 May the good work go on. 

 In many cases bricks will 

 only increase the cost slight- 

 ly, and though it may sound 

 harsh, I must say that it 

 would be a blessing if five 

 out of ten creameries burn- 

 ed down, provided proper 

 brick buildings were sub- 

 stituted.

 when you order an outfit

 plans free, but it is safer 

 always to get the advice of 

 a government expert or 

 pay for that of a private
