The Buttermilk House and the Mountain Hotel Trust
A comic tale from 1916 recounts how the Mountain House hotel earned its Buttermilk House name after a local trust was crushed. Rich New Yorker Carroll Harper helps a widow and daughter start a buttermilk supply, undercutting the existing monopoly run by Stebbins. The ally duo sign a five year contract set at 15 cents a gallon, enabling the Mountain House to oust the rival trust and keep selling famed buttermilk to guests. The hotel keeps its name and the doctor’s advice remains in effect.
