This old picture is a view of part of the Central Sugar Co. refinery at the time Mr. D. W. McMillen first acquired it. The progress and development w T hich has been made since then is at once apparent in a glance at the other picture on the right.

The Central Soya Co. Inc. began the processing of soy beans in December 1935 and has expanded its equipment and capacity to 7000 bushels of beans daily. The plant, which operates 24 hours a day, can process more than two and a half million bushels annually. This is equivalent to half the total number of harvested soy beans grown in Indiana last year, and represents an important cash outlet for locally grown beans. With the new storage which is nearing completion, the Central Soya Co. will have storage capacity of one million bushels. Soy bean oil and soybean oilmeal which result from the processing of soy beans, have a wide variety of uses. Among the most important of these are the preparation of foods for human consumption and livestock feeding. The soybean oilmeal is a highly valuable ingredient in the manufacture of poultry and stock feeds. Central Soya Co., Inc.
