Title:: Hermes-Groves dairy company

Collection:: Economics Books

It has a herd of 250 tested cows. It is one of Pennsylvania’s model dairy farms and has a certified milk capacity of 2,000 quarts per day. The acquisition of the Joseph Groves Co. was a master business stroke and is a good example of the increase in busi- ness that the new consolidation will bring about, as the Hermes-Groves Dairy Co. lowered operating costs and in- creased their retail milk business to four times that which was enjoyed by each before the consolidation. Forty-eight retail routes are now operated, serving 22,000 families by direct delivery and through the stores that sell its products. Officers are John R. Hermes, President; H. A.

S., Pittsburgh), occu- pying the first floor of a two-story frame building. Associated with him as candymaker was W. H. Rechter, the present factory superintendent. In May, 1891, the business was moved to Walnut Street, McKeesport, Pa. Although still operating on a small basis the business steadily grew, necessitating the remodeling of the property and finally the addition of a third floor. On Febru- ary 18, 1902, the present Company was incorporated and D. L. Clark was elected President. It was at this time that the real expansion began. A modern eight-story building was built on Fifth Avenue,
