BUTTER FACTORY STARTED SATURDAY

Dexter Creamery Turned Out 23 Tubs and Total of 1,51$ Pounds —Will Run Regularly. The Dexter creamery started Saturday, turning out 23 tubs of butter, a total of 1,558 pounds. W. E. Harris, the local manager, reports that the plant started up smoothly and that the butter is excellent. It will be sold through local and not retailed at the factory. The price -should be cheaper that it has been, when shipped in from Lowell, Chicago and other places. All will be shipped that is not consumed by local trade. W. H. Dexter, the owner of the business, is located in Chicago and is an old butter manufacturer and for several years has received most of the cream purchased at this station and has always maintained a price as high or higher than can be procured any place else. His enterprise in starting the factory here will meet with the approval of all interested in Rensselaer and should also have the encouragement ‘ of dairymen throughout the country. The factory will be run every day or every other day, as the amount of cream receipts will justify.
