History of Case. In 1889 the late Arthur Taylor started business in Rhinelander under the trade name of the Rhitie- lander Bottling works, bottling arid selling soda waters.

Mr. Taylor became one of the early representatives of the Coca-Cola company and one of the first to acquire a sole franchise to bottle and. sell Coca-Cola in Oneida and nearby counties. Such was his success that this sole franchise was renewed in 1917 and increased to territory including Marinette county. In 1921 Mr.

Taylor incorporated the present Taylor Beverage and Candy company, now operated under the direction of Bradley R. Taylor and Lloyd Taylor. During the early years this com.f-, pany was unable to supply bottled, Coca-Cola to all parts of ijarinette county because of the inadequai of the roads and railroad facilities, about; 1921 company had permitted Hansen'-1 sell bottled Coca-Cola in the city of Marinette.

In the 22 herds which Comprise the association, the'production varied from a low of 180 pounds to a high of 374 pounds per cow per year. The' feed cost ranged from a low of 11 cents per pound of butterfat to a high of 32 cents per pound of butterfat. The annual return per cow above the feed cost ranged from a low of $26.90 to a high of $138,87 per cow, and out of this must be paid interest, taxes, overhead on depreciation, veterinarian costs, before labor cost can be realized. According to Mr. Becker the reasons for these wide variations in production- and income are results of differences in breeding, feeding and management of these herds.

The feeding, breeding and management plans of the low profitable herd will be compared with the high herd in the hope that'-some helpful, practical suggestions, can be made.
