Kieinkeins and Harold Pettingili, who at the time were attending toe dairy school at theUniversity of Wisconsin. These twoyoung men, wide-awake and energetic studied the situation and came to the conclusion that a splendid field was open for them in this city,renteaetd OperationsThey obtained a lease on the Mark-strum building, at 121 Second Ave. S., purchased machinery and installed it, contracted for milk from farmers in the surrounding country, and on June 1st, 1914 commenced operations under the name of the Marathon Sanitaryivink uuiupay.The company thrived at the start hut some difficulty was encountered because a good grade of milk, such as is needed for pasteurisation, was hard to obtain from the farmers. Poor results were obtained and customers lost faith in pasteurized milk. The business did not progress and John A. Kleinheinz purchased the interests of his partner and With the assistance of his two brothers, Joseph A., and William 12. Kleinbeinz, re-organized the business and conducted it under the firm name of the Kleinheinz Dairy company, with John A. Kleinheinz as manager. Especial effort was exerted to educate the farther on the proper care of milk before delivering it to the dairy, and soon better results were attained. The original machinery which was considered the very best on the market, was soon found to beinefficient and in 191? an entirely new pasteurizing equipment was purchased. Gratifying results were noticed at once. Old customers began once again to use pasteurized milk and today practically one-half of the people of Wausau are using pasteurized milk and cream. The company also manufactured butter and cottage cheese.Manufacturing lee CreamIn 1920 after studying the situation carefully, it was decided to erect an extra plant for the manufacture of ice cream. The building situation interfered with the completion of the building, but late in July the marketing of the new product commenced. Sales soon reached the capacity of the plant, Mr. Kfeinhein2 declares, and arrangements are now being made for the installation of additional equipment together with mechanical refrlg-tUiUlim U iliucrtwthe plant three fold.The cheese factory of Reno Zahn in the town of Maine was purchased on December 1st, 1920. in order to guarantee a sufficient supply of sweet milk and cream for the city plants. The daily capacity of the city and country plant will reach over 20,000 pounds of milk daily in the summer time. It requires the milk and cream from over 200 farmers in Marathon county to supply the milk and ice cream plant.Ylslt InterestingA visit to the company’s plant is interesting. There you see the hydraulic bottle washer and sterilizer doing their work by killing dangerous bacteria, insuring sterile bottles for the delivery of milk that is safe. The large Wizard Porcelain lined milk and cream pasteurizers, the modem milkcooler and finally toe automatic bottle filler and capper are interesting. “When you see the expensive and sanitary machinery in this plant, yon cease to wonder why it is that no epidemic of disease has ever been traced topasteurized milk,** the manager declares.But What -For Short r*Zulus have a custom of naming a child from some eveni that occurred at the time when the child was born.
