| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The only concern in the United States manufacturing exclusively high-grade milk cans is the Dairymen's Manufacturing Company of Jersey City. This company began operations in 1900 by leasing two small buildings at the corner of Warren and Bay Streets. In 1901 the business had increased so rapidly that two more buildings were required, and one year later the company purchased the half-block bounded by Warren, Bay and Morgan Streets. Continued prosperity necessitated the building 1904 of a five-story brick factory of mill construction, with a floor space of 35,000 square feet. During the first year of the business the sales amounted to 76,000, and this has increased until during the fiscal year ending July 31, 1908, the sales amounted to 336,000, which, considering the business panic, was little short of phenomenal. The company has absolutely created a new standard in quality in the milk can market. It was the first to succeed in inducing the Western states to adopt a high grade Eastern pattern milk can for
shipping purposes, with the result that its trade-mark is now well known throughout all the United States and several foreign countries as well. The factory now has a daily capacity of seven hundred forty quart cans. No cheap
goods are manufactured The officers of the company are Charles H. C. Beakes, president; John P. Wierk, vice-president; Walter R. Comfort, treasurer, and Jacob B. Conover, secretary and managing director. Mr. Conover
is one of the directors of the Board of Trade of Jersey City. He is a man known to possess good, safe, conservative
business principles, and it is largely due to his efforts and experience that the company has expanded and achieved
such success outside of the metropolitan district. The company tenders an annual banquet to its customers in January, which is attended by about three hundred guests, and is generally preceded by the annual election of the
Consolidated Milk Exchange. A more representative body of milk dealers cannot be found in the United States. |
