Packaging Butter at the Albany Creamery - circa 1898

This image appeared in the January, 1901 bulletin of the Dairy Departmen at the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in Corvallis, where it was captioned "Molding Apparatus and Combined Churn, Albany Creamery".

In that publication the Albany Creamery was listed as built in 1895, run as a Co-op. The Manager and Operator was Elmer J. Seely, pictured here. Its main product was butter, of which it made 78,821 lbs. in 1899. The Disbrow on the right was a "combined churn and butter worker".
