At one time or another over the years the business included egg grading, egg ,melange production, poultry processing, cold storage, even a coal sales division and a water system serving 75 homes from its artesian well. This well, a gusher, was brought in in 1942, providing a self -flowing supply of 1,000 gallons per iiiinute, more than adequate even today to supply the creamery's needs. In 1956 the Thompson brothers resumed the practice of purchasing whole milk . from 'producers and separating the cream at the plant. The cream was blended with farm -separated cream for manufacture of butter and the skim milk was dried for skim milk powder.

Mr. McBurney said the clerk -treasurer's job in- cludes working a minimum of two nights per month for council meetings, preparing proportionate costs and bylaws for drainage work and administration for the Ontario Home Renewal Program.
