Iowa Falls Creamery Records 1897 to 1928 Growth and People
A historical account tracks the Iowa Falls Creamery from its 1897 founding by local enterprisers in Leonard's hall to its evolution into a farmer financed, farmer owned plant. It highlights leadership, debt payoff by butter proceeds, grading practices, key patrons like W. F. McCord, and strong fat receipts through 1919 1920 and 1928, plus commentary on governance and marketing goals for farmer control.
