Portage Creamery - Community page

The processing of milk products in the Portage Creamery is shown in pictures. Upper left a farmer of the Portage Plains brings in the morning load of milk. The milk is checked and weighed by Frask Brown before it is sent on to the milk processing room.

In the lower left corner, Andy Will, plant superintendent, checks the milk in the Creamery laboratory. This is the first check to see that the milk going into the plant is of the highest standard and quality. Further checks will be made along the line before the milk finds its way onto the delivery trucks.

The next scene shows the work in the bottling machine with Thor Anderson checking the bottles as they come off the line. These bottles will be kept in cool storage until they are put on the trucks for delivery to Portage homes.

In the next scene Bob Rennie, butter maker, empties the large churn that has just completed the manufacture of more Portage Creamery butter. Andy Will is helping to pack it in butter boxes for shipment.

Tommy Eagen, Shipper at the local plant, packs Crescent Ice Cream for shipment. The ice cream is stored in the large freezer that keeps the temperature down to 15 below zero.

Inset are two of the many trucks that form the Creamery's delivery fleet that carries milk products to Portage housewives every word day.
