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
