BACHMAN CHOCOLATE CO.
} WILL INCREASE ITS
CAPITAL STOCK TO $1,000,000
The stockholders of the Bachman
Chocolate Manufacturing company
at Florin, will hold a special meeting
June 20, 1920 for the purpose of
authorizing the directors to increase
the capital stock of the Company to
$1,000,000. Authority will be asked
at the same time to do a general
creamery business, including the
manufacture of butter, ice cream,
and other kindred products.
This company has been very sue-
cessful in the manufacture of milk
chocolate goods and will greatly in-
crease its output, branching out into
the butter and ice cream business.
There is every indication that the
stockholders will sanction the in-
crease in capitalization.
