.. ... Sedtton TWo^PagiFbi^ THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, May 27, 1965 Companies Vote Merger June 1 si Don Peasley Photo Robert Gardner, left, Solon Mills, president of the McHenry County Service Company, and James Curran, McHenry, president of the McHenry County Farmers Co-Operative Association, head the two farmer-owned companies which voted to merge at special stockholder's meetings last week. The new company will be called McHenry FS, Inc. An historic merger came about last week which will result in a stronger, bigger company better able to vie in a highly competitive business requiring huge capital. On Thursday, May 20, farmer- owners of the McHenry County Service Company and the McHenry County Farmers CorOperative Association voted to join their companies into one. The overall results can be described quickly: The new McHenry FS, Inc. will enable farmers to save more on their farm product purchases and increase net income. The new farmer-owned cooperative becomes an entity on June 1. It will be a company with a foundation of $2.5 million sales in the last fiscal years for the two out-going companies. McHenry FS will have four locations from which to give farmers in every part of the county service -- Woodstock, McHenry, Chemung and Marengo. Robert Gardner, president of the Service Company, will be president of the new McHenry FS. Under the merger agreement, officers of the Service Company--and all seven board members -- will be retained. James Curran, president, and George Schmitt, vice-president, will be added to the board of McHenry FS. Curran and Schmitt headed the McHenry Farmers Co-Op. Shareholders met at the Farm Bureau office on May 20 to vote on the plan of merger. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor -- 89.9 per cent of the Service Company proxies and 75 per cent of thei Co-Op prox-i ies were returned in favor of the merger. Harry Meloy, veteran Illinois Agricultural Association legal counsel and an expert on mergers and farmer cooperatives was present to assist with the plan. Stanley Steagall, manager of the Service Company since 1958, will continue as manager of the remaining company. McHenry Co-Op was formed 44 years ago. The Service Company was founded in 1945. dne of the main benefits of the merger will be to give the farmer - directed cooperative greater financial strength from which to compete with the huge companies that cater to farmers.

Use cuticle lotion or remover to soften cuticles on both finger and toe nails; push cuticles back with cotton-wrapped orange stick. Using an emery board, file fingernails to a wide oval shape, toenails straight across. Let toenails be a bit longer than usual in summer. If you use polish, tuck cotton or tissue between toes to prevent smearing while nails dry -- ahd use a sunny coral color. Give entire foot a lotion massage to stimulate circulation, soften rough areas; • And shaved legs and underarms are A MUST!; To avoid a line on legs where you stop, taper off your shaving. And to conceal problem hair on upper thighs, wear a full-skirted swimsuit. Now--you're ready to be seen and sunned. You can whiten DISCOLORED HANDERCHIEFS by putting them in cold water to which you've added a pinch of cream of tartar. Glue, shellac and other such STICKY MATERIALS that come in bottles or cans with screw lids sometimes create a problem when it comes to preventing the li&s from sealing themselves. You can overcome this by applying a little petroleum jelly to the threads at the top of the container before putting the cap back on. Then it will be easy to remove the cap or lid when you need it again. One way to keep FLOWERS FROM YOUR GARDEN looking pretty longer is to remove all leaves from the plant that are under water. These are the leaves that decay and poison the water -- and give off that unpleasant odor. Want a quick creamy dessert that tatstes like a party? Try FRUIT - CHEESE DELIGHT. Soften 1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese and mix with 1 pint whipped cream. Beat with mixer until it sets. Add 1 welldrained No. 303 can fruit cocktail and 1 small pkg. small marshmallows. Mix thoroughly with spoon. Refrigerate until ready to serve, (serves 6-8). (Watcty for Maggie every week!) Woodstock and with Dan's parents. Rev.
