Sheridan Plant Inspects Dense Milk Company Operation
A Lebanon party visited the Sheridan Indiana Condensed Milk Co plant. The Sheridan plant employs 58 people and has operated twelve years, processing about 100,000 pounds of milk daily. Milk is tested twice weekly for butter fat, seeds and solids, with penalties for sour milk. The facility uses Phelps filling, boils milk, and produces about 12,000 cans of condensed milk daily, supplying cream for Furnas Ice Cream Co and Indianapolis dealers. The Lebanon visitors were hosted at Thistlewaite Hotel, and a Lebanon Lebanon foundation contract for the Lebanon condensory was let to Jacob Mann of Sheridan.
