at home;
Harrisburg;

Preliminary plans for building a
farmer-owned creamery here to
provide an outlet for milk produc-
ed in this district through shipment
to an outside market, laid at
a “milk and money” meeting of
dairymen in Newcomer's Hardware
store, on Monday night.

Tentative proposals consist of the
formation of a corporation and the
issuance of capital stock of $50
par value, bearing six per cent in-
terest,

meeting evidenced their support of
the movement by pledges to
purchase a definite number of the
shaves. ;
