Butter Factory

Butter Factories were built to process the increased supply of milk produced to meet the market demand for butter. The first butter factories in this area were in Tryon. One was to the east of the Aboiteau bridge and the other on the west side of the road opposite the former Heath Howatt house.4 0These factories were eventually closed, and a new one was built in North Tryon. M. F. Schurman and Co. of Summer- side was given the contract in 1899 to construct this new factory for the Tryon Dairying Company. The members of the first board of directors for this factory were Albert D. Callbeck, Henry Smith, Artemas Howatt, Joseph W. Callbeck, James E. Howatt, William Deagan, and Newton Dawson. The capital stock was $3000. 00, divided into shares of $10 00 each. Each member of the board had to hold at least two shares, and every member was permitted one vote per share held.41

Land for the new factory was purchased from John Keough, just north of the line between the North Tryon and Albany School Districts. Although actually 1n the Albany distn'ct, the factory was always consid- ered to be 1n North Tryon. The deed for this land was registered in 1904, several years after the factory was constructed. Frank G. Lang was the first manager and butter maker at the Nonh T on Butter Factory and in 1916 Elmer Gamble was hired as his assistant.
