Editor Times:
On Friday, June 15th, I had
the privilege of attending a
stockholders meeting of Dixie
Creameries, called in the city
of’Texarkana, Ark., to discuss
the merging of this company
with other property. I acted
as proxy for a number of
local people who have stock
in the Dixie Creameries, Inc.,
and wish to give my impres-
sion of results of this meeting.
Mr. Clarence Ford explain-
ed object of meeting, giving
reasons for wanting to merge
as more economical operation
of plants, also his desire to
serve more territory, and put-
ting the company in a position
of sound financial position
where they could secure mor.
ey as needed.
Mr. Conway, who is to be
president of the new company,
is a man of affairs in his sec-
tion, and his idea appealed
very much to me. He drew a
picture of an East Texas, full
of dairy herds, with high
powered trucks carrying milk
to Shreveport, La., Texarkana,
Pine Bluff, Ark., and conden-
sery. or cheese factories taking
the whole milk from our farm-
ers or dairymen.
As a stockholder in a small
way I was thoroughly satis-
fied with plans and learned
much that I think is to the good
of Timpson and her territory.
As a citizen of this commu-
nity I see better times coming
as a result of this enterprise,
however, we will have our dif-
ficulties, but as Mr. Conway
stated in the meeting, we peo-
ple in Timpson, Center, Nac-
ogdoches, and Marshall were
awake as we had good roads,
good cows and only needed a
market for all of our milk to
make a go of the business.

ice cream plants in the merger.
Mr. Ford will have charge of
the general headquarters here,
which will handle all the dairy
and ice cream products for all
the plants in the merger. The
office at Dallas under Mr.
Dawley will handle all the ice
and cold storage plants of the
new company.
Stating that the merger was
but the first step in the ec
solidation of all the larger
dairy, ice and ice cream plants
in this section, officials of .the
new concern said that the
move will lower operating ex-
pense, thereby reducing costs.
Mr. Conway and Mr. Ford
are credited with consummat-
ing the merger. “Adopting an
aggressive attitude in pushing
the dairy industry in the south-
west, the Dixie Creameries
^ increased the efficiency of the cooling unit by providing a greater k
R surface for heat absorption; special spring arrangement, by means ft
k of which the compressor is suspended from the frame. By thus re- k
J ducing vibration, quiet is assured and the life of the. equipment vs k
