The contrast between the dirty cow barn and yard of our forefathers and the sanitary perfection of the model daity plants of today is that between the slum tenement and the palace. If you will visit the successful dairy farms scattered over this county you will be surprised at the wonderful improvements and the success with whith these modern producers of milk and butterfat have met the many difficulties with which they have had to contend and w hich now r have become actual producers of profit. I I 4 Continual Stream Os Gold * —is now flow ing into this county and in others in this territory as a result. The Cloverleaf Creameries, the Kukelhan cheese factory, the Berne condensory, the various milk dairies provide a market, ever increasing for those engaged in this profitable business, a fact demonstrated each day in this bank by the large number of checks turned in. We consid- z er the dairy business one of the most important in the county and we are glad to note the growth of all the institutions \ « and the progress of the farmers engaged in this splendid industry. | We Congratulate The Cloverleaf Creameries Only twelve years ago the Adams County Creamery opened in this city w ith Mr. E. L. Martin in charge. Since then the growth of this institution has been rapid and continuous. In 1915 the name was changed to the Martin-Klepper company and later to the Cloverleaf Creameries. Inc. The plant which began with only a few patrons now has modern factories in this city and at Huntington, a hundred stations and produces nearly four million pounds of butter a year, doing an annual business in excess of $2,500,000. Their new plant is a model of the times and we are sure the thousands who visit it next Tuesday, will agre£ that it is one of the best in the middle west. This success is due to the efforts of Mr. Martin and Mr. W. A. Klepper, the general manager. I So We’re For Dairy Day - We join the Decatutr Industrial Association, the Cloverleaf Creameries, County Agent Busche, the business men and manufacturers and citizens of Decatur in extending to every one a sincere welcome next Tuesday— Dairy Day. We hope you will enjoy every minute of the time spent here, the barbecue, the eats, the concerts, the entertainment and that we will catch the spirit, that cooperation between all of us is the pleasaitf and profitable way to solve difficulties.
