During the year the company improved the factory by the addition of a cold Storage and ice house at a cost of $485).

Mr. C. W. Riley, of Inger- sol. an extensive buyer. says the 13,- OOOlbs bought from Egremont was the only butter that gave entire sat- isfaction. No doubt this is owing to the facts that the cream was gathered every Second day, in geod condition, was properly manufactur- ed into butter. and that We had stor- age suitable to keep it in good con- dition until sold.
