<p>In the year 1909, John and Peter Schmid borrowed $300 from a neighbor. With the money, they purchased two horses, two wagons, an assortment of milk bottles, cans, dippers, and a hand-crank ice cream freezer. With their new purchases, they set off to make a name for themselves. With their horses and wagon, the two brothers delivered about 60 gallons of milk to nearly 200 homes in [[Orrville, Ohio]]. The residents soon started to call them "the Smith Brothers". This small venture has led to one of the largest industries in [[Orrville, Ohio|Orrville]] today -- the [[Smith Dairy Products Company]].
