MESSRS. LOWE AND
SOWELL BUILDING
NEW CREAMERY.
Last week we gave the news of
several sales of cows at good
prices recently made by McDon
ough men.\
There are other cow trades in
which the cows do not change
owners. They are profitable ones,
too.
Messrs. John B. Lowe and J. T.
Sowell are demonstrating this
fact in their dairy and creamery
operations. They have secured
the property lying -in the triangle
between the railroad, the street
leading in front of Dr. Campbell’s
former home and the John Smith
machine shops, and are now haul
ing the sand for a modern cream
ery building there.
The structure will be of con
crete and will be the receiving
station for the milk, where they
will separate the cream and keep
in cold storage up to the very
limit of the train times for ship
ment.
We rejoice in all such industries
in our town and county.
