was supposed that tho business
would lose at the start, and those
who put up the money did so as &

The creamery did lose', because
■there was not enough cows to make
the business pay, and later there
were losses because the operators
did not know how to sell the butter,
and could not find a market. No
blame attaches to any one for this
condition. Now there are enough
cows, and the number is increasing
all the time. The business is now
on a safe basis. In a year more it
ought to be on a, good paying basis.
