Lease Creamery to Lewiston Firm
At a special meeting of the Cottonwood Cooperative Creamery Co board on September 25 the firm voted to discontinue butter ice and ice cream manufacturing for the time being and to rent the Creamery as a cream station to Mutual Creamery Co of Lewiston for one month. A special stockholders meeting is set for October 20 to decide future plans. The president, John Hoene, cites insufficient cream and high overhead costs. The note recalls the cooperative’s 1916 founding, steady operation, and wage and cost pressures, with competition from larger cream centralizers. The meeting urged full stockholder attendance and thanks loyal patrons. Victor Jones, known as Grasshopper Jones, returns to Idaho County to resume grasshopper control work.
