910,000 POUNDS : ) AIM O-I"(iL()"ERLEAF CREAMERY COMPANY IS TO INCREASE - MILK PURCHASE Will Strive to Increase the Reeceipts of | the Lacteal Fluid to 50,000 FPounds ‘ Daily in Three Months Carl J. Klepper is the new manager of the Cloverleaf creamery plant in Lig onier which has succeeded the bll;xlw-. patch creamery 001111)1:11)". e Mr. Kleppex'_ has become a resident of Ligogier and will make this city his germarfnt home. . He has joined the Chamber of Commerce and when introduced by President S}dnsbury of that body at the noon luncheon Friday at Hotel Ligonier he outlined the aim and purposes gif his company. ‘, VTh'e-r‘il‘m he said is now buving 10.000 pounds of milk daily in Nobie "coumy but in three months he predict ed this amount will be increased to 50,000. _ s Mr. Klepper is a young man of push and enterprise and he impressed his hearers that he will make his prediction good. No butter is being made at tiie Ligonier plant and none will be made. The Cloverleaf Creéameries [ncorn-: orated has two plants in addition to the Ligonier exncrprise one at Hunting ton where all the butter is made for distributi’on in Ligonier and elsewhere and a wilk plant in Decatur. The Cloverleaf corporation is a strong . one financially and otherwise and will extend its business here to the limit. B e e The Cloverleart Creameries Inc, who have leased the Hawpatch Creamery Company wish to announce that l.hq patrons who are selling milk now to the- Cloverleaf Creameries Inc, seem to be well pleased and it is indeed gratfying to the Cloverleaf Creameries Inc., as they expect to enlarge the plant, as the patronage increases. - There has deen same unfair propaganda put out by some competitors and disinterested parties with reflerence to the futare plans of the Cloverleal Creameries Inc, They wish to announce ‘to the patrons and the public at large that the board of directors of the Hawpatch Creamery }Uomp:any appealed to them to take lover this plant. They advised them that they would gladly take it over, if the patronage could be increased to a favorable volume, and they were assured that this could be easily done, by such an organization a sthe Cloverleat Creameries Inc. ” ;
Therefm'e,, the officers of the (loverleaf Creameries Inc., entered into an agreement by leasing this plant for a period of six months. At the expiration of that time the Hawpatch Cream-~ ery ‘Company can be dissolved but naturally same would have to be done thru legal procedure. After the expiration of the lease the Board of Directors of the Hawpatch Creamery have the option of buying back the Creamery, but from -‘all indications , this will not be done. So, it is the aim * of the Cloverleaf Creameries Inc., with the jsupport- of the producers in this territory to make the Cloverleaf Creameries Plant at Ligonier Indiana one of the best markets for dairy products. The Plant is now being equipped to separate milk for sweet cream purposes-to be shipped east, and also for the skim milk to be made into lcasine. The plant will also continue to distribute butter and also buy sour cream as well as sweet cream. .There will also be a possibility in fthe near future that the plant will manufacture other Dairy products, as the volume increases. ' The guarantee and assurance that the Cloverleaf Creameries Inc., gives to every producer and patron of the Plant, is that they will at all times pay at Ligonier the market price for milk and cream, and the Cloverleaf LCreaméries Inc., with its large outlets in this country and abroad are in a position to secure a definite and lasting profitable market for the producers. : | The plant at Ligonier is managed by IC. J. Klepper son of W. A.
