In 1910 Mr. Hart was proprietor of a fine farm just outside thé town's lintits. The keen sense of values and foresightedness that made him a suc- cessful planter showed him that Osh- awa: was soon to enter upon an era of expansion. With this in mind, he concentrated upon a milk producing and distributing business. King Solomon was not the first or the last to find that the years are but "a tale that is told." But the value of the story which the years re- late depends upon that labor and service, ; Hard work and faithful service are as much a part of the business struc- ture which George Hart heads as brick, tile, steel and concrete enters in- to the fabric of the Oshawa Dairy. "When 'Mr, Hart first commenced distributing milk in Oshawa in 1910, his total daily output was around 75 quarts," says The Canadian Dairy and Ice Cream Journal for September. "The business has grown steadily ev- er since, keeping pace with the growth of the city itself. The present output i§ around 4,000 quarts daily, but in- creasing all the time, and the plant recently erected is capable of an out- put of 10,000 quarts a day, so that Mr. Hart is still exercising his foresight and laying plans for the future as well as the present. "About 1910, the milk business had already grown to such size that a plant was erccted just opposite the site of the new building just completed. This was but a one storey, cement block building, but even at that was a dis- tinct innovation for the town in those days, as it was the first pasteurizing and bottling plant to be erected in Oshawa. From the start it was ap- parent that such quarters would soon be outgrown, and on July first of this year was completed and opened the present very handsome and complete "ly equipped premiscs. New Plant The new plant is situated on Sim- cae street south, one of the city's two main thoroughfares and just south of the heart of the business section. It is a handsome structure of three stor- ies with a basement. °° The exterior is attractively finished name stands out prominently in blue letters on white tile. Perhaps the first thing which strikes the observer is the large window space. The whole of the ground floor front is practically win- dows, and there is thus a complete view of all operations, bottling and so on, given to the public. The left hand side of the front is given over to a retail store, very neat and cool, with white tiles and porce- lain counters. A large Euteka refri- erator holds a good supply of milk, cream and so on ready for the coun- ter trade. To the right of the retail store, in the front of the building, is the bottl- ing department with the main cold storage room behind, which was the work of J. C. Wilson and Sons, To- ronto. » The exterior of this room makes an attractive background for the bottling department, as it is covered with white tiles. "There are covered platforms on both sides of the building, one of which gives direct access to the re- ceiving department, and the other is used for loading and unloading milk wagons, since it is directly contiguous to both the cold storage and bottle washing departments. "In the receiving room there is a special moisture-proof Fairbanks sus- pension milk tank dial scale, supplied by W. A. Drummon & Co. Ltd., To- ronto, the tank of which, being just above flour level, makes it possible to dump milk and cream with the least possible trouble, Elaborate System ~ "From the receiving tank the milk is pumped directly to the top floor to the pre-heater and pasteurizing vats. The pre-heater is the barrel type, and after pre-heating, the milk is forced through a filter to the pasteuriziing vats. There are three of these, Twin coil machines, each fitted with direct drive from a motor and recording thermometer. This splendid equipment was supplied by W. A. Drummond, Ltd. In passing, it may be said that the appearance of this department is exceedingly attractive, since the pas- teurizers are finished in white enamel with nickel-plated fittings and orna« nie 'BRUNSWICK - Where Dependable Refrigeration Is Essential OSHAWA DAIRY Again Brunswick Equipped For many years the Brunswick Ice Machine has supplied the refrigeration for the old Oshawa their new modern Dairy.

"A feature which adds to the ap- pearance of this floor is the absence of the circulating tanks which gener- ally accompany the vats. These tanks a somewhat unsightly item at the best of times, are obviated by the use of a central heating unit with controller, which automatically supplies all three vats with hot water at a constant temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature can, of course, be raised or lowered if necessary by ad- justing the device, but.at the stated temperature, it is found that not only is there absolutely no danger of the milk becoming over-heated, due to a momentary escape of steam into the coils which will sometimes happen with the best reguiated vats and circulat- ing tanks, but also the cream-line is enhancegl due to the careful and con- trolled io which the milk under- goes. The flavor is also likewise shawa's Unsurpassed Industrial esponsible for Magnificient Modern New Dairy Vision that in 1910 could see 177 into the future and divine the Present Output of Oshawa Dairy About 4,000 Quarts Daily.

A Day, Showing Forethought for Future Expansion of Business. thoroughly protected, and finally it is stated that vats are casily kept clean, since due to the low temperature of the heating water, milk solids cannot possibly 'cook' on to the coils and in- terior of the vats. The complete ab- sence of unsightly 'milkstone' could be noted when the plant was inspect- ed recently. "It is believed that this is the first central heating installation of its kind in Canada. Bottling Department "From the holding vats, the milk passes over a large tubular cooler on the floor below, to the bottling ma- hine on the ground floor. By use of the gravity system, the necessity for pumping the milk more than once, and that straight from the receiving vat to the pre-heater, is entirely obviated. "Having followed the milk in its course through the plant to the filling | machine, it will be interesting to note the course of the dirty and clean bot- | tles and also cans. Due to the care- Expansion known in ful lay-out of the plant, the handling | ® : 2 f all material is reduced to a mini- mum. From the receiviing room, the dirty cans pass to the can-washing and storage department, fext door, which is equipped with a can washer and dryer. The farmer, having un- loaded his milk, passes on a few yards and rczeives his cleansed and sterilized cans, and is away with the least pos- sible loss of time. "With regard to bottles, the same simplicity and case of handling is not- ed. The dirty bottles and cases arc unloaded on to a gravity conveyor, which carries them to a bottle washer and also the storage room. The bot- tle *washer is fitted with automatic control which ensures that every bot- tle reccives the proper exposure to caustic solution, rinsing waters and steam. From the washer to the filling department and from the filling ma- chime to the cold store, there is a con- tinuous system of. conveyors. "In the basement there is ample storage space for the necessary sup- plies of bottles, and here also is sit- uated a 13-ton ice-machine and brine tank, supplied by J. L. Wilson and Sons, of Toronto. The brine is sup- plied to the cold store and the cool- crs at zero. "F. F. Saunders, Toronto, widely Canadian dairy circles, is the architect, and supervised the con- struction of the plant."
