Modern Milk Sugar Plant to be Ready for Complete Operation May 1 [1941]
Bainbridge News & Republican, April 10, 1941
The village of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], with an estimated population of 1,500, is most fortunate in having so many industries. The National Milk Sugar Co., which has been in Bainbridge since 1898, is completing a new building which is located north of the Resin plant.
According to S.R. Bennett, the plant will be ready for complete operation by May 1, although some processes have been done at the plant for several weeks. Mr. Bennett stated that the plant would employ 35 to 75 men.
The building, which is in charge of George L. Lucky, of New York City, engineer of the Borden's Company, contains approximately 44,000 square feet of surface space.
The new structure, built by Frank Lewis & Sons, is tile block inside and out.
The boiler room 40x60 feet with a brick stack of 150 feet, will be one of the most modern and finest in this part of the state.
On the first floor are large rooms filled mostly with automatic machinery.
A modern milk room receives the milk from the tank trucks and the milk can be pumped from this room to any place in the plant to where it is needed. Tile floors have been laid wherever there are wet operations.
Two stairways leading to the second floor are built inside of fire towers.
The offices which are on the second floor, are light and airy with acoustic ceilings, and coat rooms adjoining.
A modern laboratory and test rooms are also on the second floor.
A building has been erected in front of the plant where Guy Walling will have his office, and a maintenance room, two store rooms, and three garages, make up the rest of the building.
