Dairy Machinery Companies Merge
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, July 12 - The J.G. Cherry Company, manufacturers of dairy machinery and supplies, and six other concerns have combined assets of more than $10,000,000 under the title of the Cherry Burrell Corporation. The executive headquarters of the combination will remain here. The concerns, besides the local company, are D.N. Burrell & Co., Inc., of Little Falls, N.Y.; the Milwaukee Dairy Supply Company of Milwaukee, the John W. Ladd Company of Detroit, the Cherry Bassett Company of Baltimore, the Wright Ziegler Company of Boston and the A.H. Barber Goodhue Company of Chicago.
Excerpts from Industrialization Takes Over, Chapter 4
......On this same Eastern trip, Howard Cherry became acquainted with C.S. Bassett of Baltimore. Bassett ran an aggressive small dairy supply business called the American Bottle Cap Company. His primary products were the Perfection Pull Cap, and a line of glass milk bottles. Both products were manufactured elsewhere, and distributed by Bassett.
But, since most milk had been sold in bulk up until this time, the "bottles and caps" concept was an innovation, and caused Bassett's business to thrive, enabling him to add other lines of separators, as well as hand-operated bottle fillers manufactured by the Milwaukee Dairy Supply Company.
Since demand for pasteurized milk was rapidly expanding, the J.G. Cherry Company appointed Bassett's American Bottle Cap Company as a distributor of Cherry-Burrell coil-type pasteurizers and certain other equipment. Five years later, the Cherry Company joined in the foundation of the Cherry Bassett Company. Cherry-Bassett also distributed D.H. Burrell Company sanitary fittings for a significant portion of their business. Although operated independently from the J.G. Cherry Company, the Cherry-Bassett Company would gain major importance years later.
