In 1900 a few of the most prosperous farmers in the locality saw what profits were to be made from dairying. They were five or six miles from town, which was the only market. At the suggestion of a few of the most energetic, about twenty of them met in the school house and fixed up a temporary organization. They soon found out that there were plenty of cows to support a creamery. The question of financing now came up.

These were deposited in the bank as security, and the money to finance the enterprise borrowed on the strength of this.
