The following appeared in the Rock County Herald on November 27, 1896:
Hills Creamery
The Hills creamery made a very satisfactory record during the month of October. The Crescent says: “The board of directors of the Hills Creamery association met Monday of last week. After allowing bills for expenses during the month of October, they found they could allow the patrons 16 cents net for their butter. This is a better showing than any creamery throughout this section was able to make the same month this year, and if the farmer living in this vicinity furnishes milk to the creamery and wishes then to trade with our merchants, they will give you $11.00 worth of goods for every $10.00 in milk checks or $1.10 for $1.00. The goods are marked in plain figures and it is square dealing.”
