Year 1925 Tops List With Total Out-put of 416,792 Pounds of Butter, or 38,500 Pounds More Than in Previous Twelve month. –Total Receipts Were $182,920. Stockholders, at Annual Meeting, Vote To Purchase Eight-Ton Ice Machine.

——–

All previous records of the Klossner Creamery Co., one of the most successful and progressive co-operative organizations of its kind in this section of the state, were broken, last year, when the creamery’s output was Increased to 416,792 pounds of butter, which is 38,500 pounds more than was manufactured in 1924, the banner year thus far. This gratifying fact was brought out in the annual report of Secretary-Manager George H. Vetter, which he submitted to the stockholders, at their annual meeting, Saturday afternoon. The gathering was well attended.

Exceptionally Good Year

All debts were paid during the past year, leaving the snug sum of $1,576.72 in the sinking fund. Nineteen twenty-five proved an exceptionally good period for the creamery company. The substantial increase in its business is due largely to “better cows, more alfalfa, and better prices,” as Secretary-Manager Vetter puts it.

The stockholders voted to install an eight-ton ice machine in their model butter factory, this to be done immediately. This improvement was made necessary in order to be able to handle the increase expected. Labor-saving devices are needed to run the plant more efficiently. The built-in refrigerator system will provide additional space in the workroom, which is greatly needed.

All of the officers and directors were re-elected for the ensuing year, as follows: John Ulrich, president; Geo. H. Vetter, secretary-manager; William D. Gieseke, treasurer; John L. Bushard, Alex. E. Reinhart and Joseph F. Preisinger, directors. Verne Johnson, the efficient buttermaker, was retained in that capacity. His assistants are Gilbert Zeise and Emery Johnson. William F. Hoffmann was again engaged as cream hauler.

Orders will be taken this year for alfalfa, which will be sold to patrons at cost. Grimm’s alfalfa is recommended for this territory.
