Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1890 — Ship Your Milk to Rensselaer. [ARTICLE]

Ship Your Milk to Rensselaer.

What is the matter with the scheme for the farmers down the” railroad, around Pleasant Ridge, Marlborough, Lee and even further east, making arrangements to ship their milk to the Rensselaer creamery, when it gets in operation? We are confident that the Monon milk train would bring the milk in, in the morning, and take back the empty cans, or the cans with the whey, in, the evening, at a very reasonable rate; and it would be no trouble at all to arrange with some of the teamsters of Rensselaer to haul the milk and the cans to and from the depot at a very small priceThe milk could be sent in to the creamery the six days of the week the train runs and the Sunday’s milk could be kept at home to make butter for the. family. We believe this to be a very feasible suggestion and think that the farmers interested should give the matter immediate attention. Further we think it would be a good plan to induce the farmers who are likely to adopt this plan, to take some of the stock ofThecreamery, now held by business' men and capitalists of Rensselaer. It would be better for, the creamery if the milk producers held more- of the stock, for they would then have a greater interest in the success of the enterprise, and at the same time it wbuld be better for the producers to own the stock.
