Hew Dundee Creamery cont'd Troubles were cropping up with various firms over butter that was not first class. The firm of Glennie and Moore asked for a rebate and were granted half of what they asked (they asked $54.70) and a Toronto firm of R. White and Son. A few patrons were dropped which the cream haulers thought were not sending good enough cream. Some patrons were dissatisfied with their tests. It was decided to have the inspector come and examine the tests, made. In 1922 Mr. Peters of Toronto was hired as head buttermaker for one year for $2000.00. The following agreement was made with Mr. Albert Shelby 6 Roseville. That the Creamery agrees to let Albert Shelby act as salesman for their butter in Kitchener and Waterloo and that the said Mr. Shelby agrees to pay the regular price and that he has the privelege of retailing it at the market if he so desires and that the Creamery reserves the right to give him such quantities in proportion as shortage of supply necessitates and that the said Mr. Shelby get his butter here at the factory. This agreement to last as long as satisfactory to both parties and to take effect 1st. day of March, 1922. By March 1, 1923 Austin Bauer was back at the Creamery at a salary of $1800. and if the creamery manufactured more than 309,101 lb. of butter he was to receive an additional fifty cents a hundred pounds of butter. No holidays given except when not needed at the creamery. In Feb. 1923 an agreement with Earl Einwechter was made to haul cream. The creamery agreed to bear half loss if he upsets his cream in the winter months when it is unavoidable. He agreed to deliver to the factory at 1 3/4 cents per lb. butter and what is over and above 75,000 lbs pay 2 cents per lb. butter. He was to gather twice a week as early in the day as possible and to work in the interests of the company. By May 10, 1926 the secretary was Mr. M.B, Snyder. In May 1934 the following agreement between Anson Lang and the New Dundee Coroperative creamery Ltd. was made. "The said Anson Lang agrees to work in the Creamery at a. salary of $30. per month from May 1 to Oct. 1, 1934- He agrees to work in the interests of the creamery at all times and under the orders of the manager and under the rulings of the Board. All payments to be made 15 days after the month. No holidays given except when not needed at the Creamery. This agreement may fee terminated by either party on 30 days notice. (This is 1970 and neither Anson nor Creamery has terminated the agreement). In 1936 right in the middle of the worst depression the world has ever known, the yearly butter production amounted to 1,570,000 pounds. In 1937 the necessity of purchasing milk arose and the Board authorized the erection of an additional building and purchased equipment for this purpose. A roller milk drier was used to dry the skim milk and the cream was used for buttermaking. Earl Einwechter brought in the first can of milk in 1938 , five cans from Milton Ernest of Parkway. In 1949 with more complex marketing problems arising it became necessary to go into a more diversified line of products so equipment was purchased to process sweet cream and sweetened condensed milk. In 1951 another addition was added to the milk plant department. In 1952 a new Spray Milk Drier was installed. Sales for the past five years had exceeded one million dollars per year and this year are expected to hit an all time high. On November 22 and 23, 1955 an open house was held to show the new addition containing up to date equipment for the continuous processing of butter and the making of milk powder. Approximately 1,300 persons were registered from places as far distant as Toronto and Aylmer. The extension had been completed in September 1955. The creamery provides a market for upwards of 1000 dairy farmers in this area 20,000,000 pounds of milk are processed annually.
