Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 February 1898 — Good Bye, Milk Church. [ARTICLE]

Good Bye, Milk Church.

Uncle Mac’s once famous “Milk Church,” is now dead past hope of resurrection. All the machinery in the Rensselaer creamery has been sold by the receiver to a creamery company at Liberty, this state, and was being taken out and loaded on the cars, Wednesday. The price paid was $350. The machinery includes a large and complete butter making plant, including several extra separators which were used in branch creameries, also a complete cheesemaking plant, some of which were never used at all, and none of it very much. The creamery building, with its large cold storage plant in connection, is for sale, and negotiations are now pending with a Rensselaer party, for its purchase. The entire plant originally cost between SB,OOO and $9,000. It is not probable that more than SI,OOO to sl,200 will be realized from it.
