Ethan's New Creamery Beats Expectations in Rural Drive
B L Keene reports from Ethan that a new creamery started a week ago with a 10 mile distant skimming station in Hutchinson county. On its first day farmers hauled 3000 pounds of milk though cans were scarce. The steam powered plant includes a 24 by 40 foot creamery and a 20 by 30 engine room with a 100 foot well supplying soft water for butter washing. The venture draws strong farmer support and is described as a larger success than promoters expected.
