Every Detail in Butter Making Process as Sanitary as Possible.

One of " Richmond's newer industries that has proved itself progressive is the Western Ohio Creamery, a branch factory of an Ohio corporation which owns similar plants all over Ohio. This branch was started on a farm, north of Greenville, Ohio, in 1895 and in 1905 was moved to the town and incorporated. On April 1, 1911 it was brought to Richmond and the machinery installed in the building on North Eleventh and E street. Its business has increased and it became necessary to build a new factory, which was completed this summer. The new factory, located at North Sixth and D streets, has been pronounced by experts to be. the. most sanitary and modern plant of its kind in the state. It is a two-story cement and brick structure, with a large basement. The basement contains . the boilers which furnishes the steam to run the engines and sterilize the milk. This basement is entirely apart from the remainder of the plant, bo that there is no possibility for any dust to be blown into the milk. On the .first floor la the machinery necessary for the manufacture of butter and the refrigerators. On the Becond floor are the office rooms ami store rooms. The building Is equipped with an electric elevator. Buy of 1,500 Farmers. The milk used by this plant is bought from 1,500 farmers in Wayne county and the vicinity. When the milk is brought to the factory each separate shipment from each farmer Is tested by the Babcock method. The tester is equipped to test 32 samples at a time. The cream is poured through a large screen and goes through pipes to six large vats, where it is cooled and pasteurized at the .same time. The pipes through which the milk , runs , into the vats are so constructed that they can be taken apart in section frequently and the interior cleaned with a brush. Ship to New York. .From the vats it is piped to two extra large. churns, where the butter is : drained, washed and salted. The . greater part of the output is then transferred to tubs and shipped to the New York market. The portion which is sold on the local market goes under the name of the J. O. W. brand. This is taken to a room which has no windows and tight doors, as a protection from dust, and here each pound of butter 1b carefully weighed on a pair of scales, tested regularly by the weight inspector. Eve,ry churning is tested by the expert employed at the factory. The object kept in mind while building the factory, according to the local superintendent, F. L. Allen, was to make every detail in the process as sanitary as possible. The partitions necessary on the first floor are raised several inches from the floor, to readily permit scrubbing. The drains are made in the form of open ditches to carry off the water, so that they can easily be cleaned. As a precaution to insure perfect drainage, two different lines to the main sewer were installed. Everything Cleanly. The ceiling of the first story is fourteen feet high, giving room for air to circulate. The refrigerator is cooled by A special brine circulation and an amonia compressor, weighing ten tons. The paint used on the enterior is a hard enamel water proof mixture, and the cans used are all washed in a solution and sterilized in steam The plant is set back from the street to avoid dust and there is scarcely an improvement known in the creamery business that has not been put into use. The corporation of which this plant Is a branch, is building modern factories of this kind in Ohio and at the present is erecting a plant at Oelina, Ohio. Judge J. W. Irvin, of Dayton, Ohio, is president of the company, I. O. Winters, of Greenville, general manager, and F. L. Allen, local manager.

Starting in as a small home bakery and lunch room, in 1S97, when his daily bread sales were 35 loaves a day, the business of John Zwissler has grown to be one of the largest in the city. The bakery has a capacity of 10,000 loaves a day and besides this Mr. Zwissler has the largest pastry business and one of the largest res

to one of them. Mr. Zwissler came here from Kokomo in 1879 and rented the store room at 90S Main street where his restaurant is now located. He did his entire baking business in the rear of the room and had a small lunch counter in front. The growth of the business was steady and when the bread business had grown from 35 loaves daily to almost 3,000 loaves in 1906 he purchased a building at 28 South Fifth street, remodeled it and launched a small retail store with the bakery in connection. He had one patent oven installed. Another addition to the building was made in 1910. In 1912 he installed another oven, both of which have a single baking capacity of 420 loaves each with a daily capacity of more than 10,000 loaves. Besides this be has had for several years, mixers, dividers and molders. The dough is automatically mixed, divided into equal sized loaves and molded into shape for the pans. "When I started business here there was not as much bakers' bread sold In the city as I make every day now. This indicates that the people are appreciating the 'baker's bread' and I believe there will be a time when the house wife no longer makes her own

Dickinson Jewelry Store, Old Firm

I taurant.

The Dickinson Jewelry store Is the oldest in the city, being founded by R. II. Dickinson in 1851. when he opened with a stock of Jewelry where a grocery store Is now located. Since 1853 the store has been situated at its present location. 523 Main street. During the Civil war the store carried a large line of firearm, a specitl permit to engage in this kind of business having been obtained lrom Governor Morton. There Is only one jewelry store in eastern Indiana that is older. This ia the Klein Jewelry

I in 1839.

O. E. Dickinson, the present owner, succeeded his father in 1907. In the five years that he has been In

business, the yearly Bales have been increased fivefold. One of the most interesting things on exhibition in the store Is a large clock supplied to the old court nous In Centerville. by the elder Dickinson in 1858. A little over a year ago a plain band ring came back to the shop for repairs. Upon investigation It was found that it had been sold 55 years ago. Thla store carries a complete line of diamonds, having the largest stock of precious stones to be found ia the city.

est pleasure to hear expressions of satisfaction at the service she is able to render, and her greatest disappointment to hear the reverse. Winter snow storms that tie up street car traffic, floods, storms of all kinds that upset travel, all make the telephone operator more work and because of the trouble and delay in other lines of business, the public's mind is generally out of sorts and the telenhone oo-

erator is talked to as if she were re-!

sponsible for all of these unsatisfactory conditions. But the most trying time at the central office comes during the hot summer months, and August is probably the worst time of all A man who after vainly trying to sleep for several hours finally does, like W. S. Gilbert's "Nightmare:" "Get some respose ln the form of a doze With hot eyeballs and head ever aching. But his slumbering teams with such terrible dreams That he'd very much better be waking." He has possibly stood about two hours of this when the alarm clock rudely brings him back to earth. He turns it off and forgetting an early appointment for a moment returns to this awful doze. Suddenly he realizes the fact that he has overslept and he immediately jumps up and as "More haste makes less speed" he finds d.'fficulty in completing his toilet. The day has started all wrong he's out of sorts. He hasn't time for breakfast, but feeling that he has a long day before him, eats a morsel so hurriedly as to seriously impair his digestion. He starts out for his car hot and sore, a hat breeze removes his hat, and whisks it down the street. He regains it with more heat and misses his regular car. The day hasn't yet goij far, but things are still awry. He finally catches the car that follows the one he usually takes, by making an extra spurt which makes his temperature rise still further, and finally lands at his office. Once there, he endeavors to prepare for his labors and at once finds that the paper upon which he is to work are not in his pocket. He knows not whether they are at his home or have fallen from his pocket during the chase for his hat or the street car. He must call up his home to find out and does so and thus it Is the telephone operator who gets the first "explosion" from the pentup heat There are probably many more who have sought through similar experiences during that dreadful night and who are feeling just as much out of sorts, and these with the ice merchant, whose supply is running short and must be quickly replenished; those who have to dispose of perishable goods in a hurry; many others who find it more convenient and comfortable to talk on the telephone than to go out in the burning sun, make the work of the telephone operator more burdensome, and perhaps her average speed of answer to calls drops to 6 seconds instead of 4 seconds, her usual speed. Perhaps she is more apt to err than usual because of the large Increase in the number of calls she has to handle and the consequent increased speed at which she has to work. She is blamed for this, she is reported to the chief operator or the manager for being slow or asleep at the switch, or possibly as being impertinent when reporting that a line is busy, and for many other conditions that become aggravating to those who are burdened by the ills that go with the hot weather. She is answering calls and putting up and taking down connections under the most trying conditions. The windows are all open, letting in the noise from the streets. Electric fans are buzzing all around her. And yet it is a rare thing to hear her complain. She comes and goes in rain and shine, heat and cold, wet and dry, by some means or other, whether travel is easy or difficult and shows the greatest possible loyalty to the public, whom it is her pleasure to serve and please. Her work is most difficult at times when conditions are the least favorable for her she works while all others work she works while all others sleep or try to sleep she works when all others play.
