The Oakes Creamery opens with plans to buy milk from local farmers at 65 cents per 100 pounds, deliver the proceeds monthly, and expand to butter production later. The plant includes multiple vats, a Jimbo separator, and a 10 horsepower engine, with farmers urged to join to boost regional prosperity and patriotism.
A proclamation extols honoring fallen soldiers by laying garlands on graves, noting monuments and edifices memorialize heroism yet the simple act of placing a flower on graves remains a fitting tribute to those who sacrificed for the nation and home.
