BATEcQN'S MODEL DAIRY—Jan and F. John Batum, flanked by employees Wayne
Horton and John Henderson, operate the Model Dalry from their building on Patrick
Street.
Wingham .. .
In its 100th year
"I cou>ldn't process milk for what I can buy
it for." And tbat, F. Join Bateson explains, is
the reason Batesoa's 11/s W Dairy got out of
the milk processing business to wnow&iste
on the distri iutlgg and of the business.
Things bave changed to the -dairy business
since Mr. Bateson and his father, the late
Stafford Batson, took over the Modd )pawy
in i946. In those days there were numerous
small � : d'., i, dairies scattered around the
area, each bottling milk under its own label.
With the rise of the huge dairy product
'factories', many of them U.S. contrciled, a
lot'' of the small dairies stopped processing
and turned to a middleinan role, delivering
the products purchased from the large firms.
Over time their numbers decreased as dairies
went out of business or were bought out by
competitors.
The Model Dairy processed milk up until
1966, employing as many as eight pbople at
one time, but it got out of processing when it
found it couldn't compete with the large
dairies, Mr. Bateson said. The dairy used to
process about a dozen different items—
various sizes of milk and cream containers,
chocolate milk, etc.—whereas it now handle
about 75 dairy items purchased from the
Beatrice plant at Barrie.
"There's no way we could process that
number," he noted.
He also observed that people's ohupping
habits have changed quite a bit since the
early days of the dairy business and dairies
have had to adapt to the change. It used to be
if you wanted some milk you bought it from
the dairyman, who delivered it to your door.
These°days most people buy milk at a store,
as part of their regular grocery shopping,
As a consequence, Mr. Bateson said he
believes home delivery is on its way out. Back
in 1946 95 per cent of the dairy's business
consisted of home deliveries; now about 85

In 1946 Batemn's Maid Dairy ddivetred

continued to be used up until the early 199,
when they were a twelly displaced by the
deliveryvans. A .borne was -much more
convenient. for town delivery than a truck,
Mr. Bateson noted, since it would soon learn
its way around the route and you emilld do
your L. ,' , I li raw it moved from door to door.
There weren't too many rerigerators in
homes in those days and that was the room
for the seven -days -a -week deliveries. People
put the mills in the cellar and figured if it kept
for a day that was adequate.
The Mode- Dairy got its start back in 1937
when Mr. and Mrs. George H. Tervit decided
to move tbeir milk business into town. It was
originally located w the Crawford Block,
where the post office now elands. The
business was purchased by the Bateson in
19* and five y este later was m^Yw i� �
present building on P4b=k Sheet.
In 1965 Jon Bateson joined his father in the
business, following ' the death of Stafford
Bateson a few years earlier. The two of diem,
with employees John Henderson and Wayne
Horton, now operate the dairy, using two
refrigerated trucks and tht'ee delivery vans.
Over the years they purchased Hartley.
Smith's dairy and the Blyth Dairy and their
delivery area now takes in Wiagham,
Belgrave, Bluevale, Blyth and Auburn.
