CPEAMEPV NIACHINERV
BEGINNING TO WWE
First of Several Units to Be In
stalled Is Already Here and
Being Installed
Machinery to be used in the op
eration of the Americus creamery
is beginning to arrive here, and is
being installed just as rapidly as
possible. The location of the
creamery, it has been definitely de
cided, is to be in the C. M. Coun
cil business block on Cotton ave
nue, just north of the Hotel Sum
ter.
Th e boiler which will be used to
sterilize all cream used in the man
ufacture of butter before this is
placed into the big churn, has ar
rived and is bein" placed on the
outside of the creamery building,
and a huge tank to b e used in the
refrigeration processes there has
already been completed and is now
ready for use. t Th e great churn,
which will be used to turn out
thousands of pounds of golden-hued
Sumter county butter within a few
weeks, has also arrived and been
placed inside the building, with
only the delayed arrival of other
needed machinery prevented im
mediate beginning of operations.
Included in the equipment to be
installed is a new and modern re
frigeration system that will insure
absolute sterile conditions through
out the entire plant, with ample
storage space maintained for the
keeping of butter and cream over
indefinite periods. I. E. Wilson, as
already stated, will be manager of
the creamery, and arrangements
/ill be perfected to handle all
cream that may be offered by
farmers of Sumter county and ad
joining counties.
It is probable the entire output
of the plant will be sold through
a single broker ,as already a num
ber of agencies have made appli
cation to Manager Wilson for the
privilege of handling butter manu
factured by the concern. Butter
will be the only product manufac
*urecl ln the new creamery, al
though the Americus Ice Cream
company will be housed in the
same building, with the manage
ment of the two concerns identical.
r armers who have available pas
ture lands, in a number of in
stances, have already begun prep
arations for bringing cream into
the new creamery, with further ad
ditions to their herds also contem
plated, according to information
I furnished the Times-Recorder. It
.is expected that with th e comple
tion of the creamery qiany farm
ers will be enabled within a short
time to put their farming opera
tions upon a cash basis through the
medium of the creamery payroll.
Cash payments will be made for
all cream taken at the creamery,
it is stated, with regular and stat
ed period for the sending out of
checks to all farmers who estab
lish accounts there through regular
shipments of cream.
It is desired that farmers who
wish to contribute cream to the
?reamery here would familiarize
themselves with the conditions un
der which creameries are operated
ordinarily, so that such minor prob
lems as may arise in connection
with the early cream offerings may
be easily adjusted. __ T
