St. Charles Condensing Co.

Description

Front: Float for parade hitched to team of horses. A Union Jack waves from the top of the float, and a sign reading "St. Charles Condensing Co." runs along the side of the float. "One of the most flourishing of the industries of the busy town of Ingersoll is the Milk Condensing Factory, operated by the St. Charles Condensing Co. About seven years ago, this Company, which has factories at St. Charles, Illinois and at Chemong in the same state, sought an opening in Canada, and finally decided to establish a plant in the good old dairy County of Oxford. Is it any wonder, then, that St. Charles Evaporated Cream and Silver Cow and Purity Milk, are three popular favourites with Johnny Canuck in his home, in his mining camps, in his wanderings up and down the land, as well as with his many friends across the seas?"
