The Lewisburg Condensed Milk Factory

The Lewisburg Condensed Milk Factory
Incorporated in 1912, plant erected in Lewisburg that same year
(This appears to have later become The Creamery Building )

July 2nd 1915, the Lewisburg Journal reported: "The John Wild Milk Company Inc of Columbus Ohio has taken over the plant of the Lewisburg condensed Milk Co., the large concern along the Reading Railroad tracks north of town, and additional equipment will be added at once to increase the output of the concern.


In April of 1912, vandals plugged one of the artesian wells for the new plant.
