  • Wooster Board of Trade Last Night [1]

There was a good attendance at the Wooster Board of Trade last evening, when the special meeting was called to order by the president, Col. C. V. Hard. The question of a full creamery in Wooster was the first item taken up, over a third of the needed stock having already been subscribed by a few men quietly, and further action having been delayed until the business could be brought before the Board. In response to calls, John Wilhelm ex. plained the possibilities for profit in connection with the number of farmers during the day had expressed their desire to him to lend a hand in the matter, so that he had no doubt that the 250 cows required as a minimum for a milk supply could easily be secured. Harry McClarran gave recent experiences in the grocery trade in Wooster, showing both farmers and dealers would be better off if all the milk made into butter in Wayne county were handled through creameries. A motion by W. D. Tyler was adopted requesting the chairman to co-operate with Mr. Wilhelm and Capt. R. E. Eddy in a vanvass upon the question, and the president designated Messrs. Tyler and McClarran and Capt. W. O. Beebe as such committee.
