Parr Creamery Temporarily Closes for Want of Funds.

The Parr creamery and butter factory has closed down temporarily, but it is expected will start uif in the spring. The factory has seen run by Jack Wilson and Ed Gilmore, the former having worked for some time as the buttermaker for the old Parr Creamery Co. During the busy season they did very well but lately there has been a considerable shortage of cream and consequently not much business. The result has been that the men have not been making the business pay out and they decided to close down until spring.
