The projected roof and intake section of the
building housed the pulley rope or chain which was worked by a winch.

A New Cheese Factory to Be Started on the West Side and Will Be on the Co-operative Plan
Officers Elected and Work Well Started
For some time past the farmers of the
West Side have been agitating the possibility of establishing a cheese factory
to utilize their "cow product," thereby gaining the profit, without sharing the
gain with middle men. The project has caused no small interest among the
farmers, and at last their ambitious designs are to be realized in the erection
of a first class cheese factory which after completion will be known as the Town
of Warner Co-Operative Cheese Factory, located at Benjamin's corners, near the
Herman Schwarze school house (later known as the Benjamin School).
The constructive preparations are
already begun, ground staked out, stone hauled for the foundation, and a well
already drilled. The factory is to be a commodious structure 24x90 ft.,
fully equipped with all the necessary modern conveniences and when completed and
ready for operation, which will be about May 1st, 1906, will cost approximately
$1,000.
The manager has already secured the
required number of cows to make the project a success, having over 90 cows and
16 shareholders, up to date, the required number being only 75 cows.
All who are interested in this new
industry are cordially invited to join hands and help push the good work along.
It is generally conceded that the county should have cheese factories liberally
scattered throughout the farming districts thereby enabling the farmers to
realize financially the full benefit of their herds.
The officers of the new corporation
are:
President, Thos. Hammre.
Treasurer, Herman Schwarze.
Secretary, A. F. Varney.
Salesman, Thos. Hammre.
Building committee: B. F. Ketchpaw, Geo. Buker, Wm. Benjamin and Herman
Schwarze.
