Title:: Hermes-Groves dairy company

Collection:: Economics Books

this business that have been copied the nation over and be- come standard scientific practice in other of the greatest plants of the United States. It is to him that Pittsburgh acknowledges tribute for the stupendous growth of one of its greatest firms. Mr. Hermes is also President of the Big Four Oil & Gas Company, with very large holdings in producing nil territory. Plant No. 1, located at Andover, Ohio, is a large property situated on the main line of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. It is equipped throughout with all the latest ma- chinery used in separating and condensing milk, and for the manufacture of dry milk powder. It has double units in every department so that in case one unit is disabled the dup- licate units can assume the work. This eliminates all possi- bility of the loss of milk (that is perishable) and it insures the constant supply for daily delivery to the city plant. The handling capacity of the Andover Branch is 100,000 pounds of milk daily. Plant No. 2, East Orwell, Ohio, is also modern in every respect and particular. It is equipped with ice machines, electric light dynamos, coolers, cream separators, condensors and other machinery necessary in the handling of milk and rream. Other Plants are located at Phalanx, Leon and New Lyme. Ohio. At the main plant at Pittsburgh all local milk from nearby Pennsylvania points is prepared for sale. This milk coming from nearby farms and from our own Braeburn Farms by truck arrives earlier, which makes it possible to deliver to retail and wholesale customers twenty-four hours earlier than most large local dealers. Twenty-four hours fresher milk was introduced into Pittsburgh by this company. This plant has a capacity of 175,000 pounds of milk daily, and is the oldest concern of its kind in Pittsburgh, and the largest of the independent companies, having grown from an invest- ment of one hundred dollars to one and one-half million dollars, including no good will or intangible assets, in 53 years.
