TWO BIG OH
ART CONSOLIDATED
Properties of R. V. Crine and
W. B. Griffin Will Hereafter;
be Conducted as One, With
Former in Charge of Produc
tion.
A deal was consummated yesterday
by which Brunswick will soon have
one or the best dairies in the state,
the trade In question being the con
solidated of the dairies of R. V.
Crine and W. B. Griffin. Both of these
gentlemen have been engaged In this
business here for some time. One has
an excellent location near the city
and the other has been on the Walker
place, north of the Chapel, and with
the consolidation will come Increased
output and consequent additional)
cows. It is stated that fifty or more
of the very best milkers will be pur
chased which will make this one of
the largest dairy propositions in this 1
section.
As Is a well known fact. Mr. Crine
has had many years* experience in
the cattle and dairy business and was
formerly county farm agent. He will j
have charge of the stock and product
departments while Mr. Griffin will
act n* manager of ’the saies depart
ment.*
That there Is a bright future for
this business here there is no doubt.
Local consumption requires a large
yuanUty of milk, while it Ip an easy
matter to ship in the event this is de
sired by the operators. Not only
sweet milk but all product* of a first
class dairy will result from the consol
idation.
