Growth of the Cream Business In Rensselaer Was Remarkable.

Drayman J.. A. Grant has been hauling cream to the milk train each morning for the past two years for W. H. Morrison, the cream buyer, and his figures show a marvelous growth during that period. The total number of cans hauled during 1909 was 5,777, and for 1910 the total number was 10,299. The heaviest month each year was July and during that month of 1909 there were 831 cans shipped to Chicago, and during the corresponding month in 1910 the number was 1,429. In January, 1909, the number was only 114, while a year later it was 361.
