Description

The Correspondence between President Thomas Palmer, of the Alabama Girls’ Technical Institute, and the Empire Cream Separator Company in Bloomfield, New Jersey began on January 15, 1918. On February 18 he confirmed in a letter that he had purchased a milking machine for the Alabama Girls’ Technical Institute. The milking machine came with two double units, one number-two pumping outfit, 16 stall cocks, and four pipe clamps. The milking machine arrived on March 22, 1918. This letter, from March 26, is a response from the Empire Cream Separator Company to President Palmer’s request that they send someone to install the machine. The company tells President Palmer that they were sending an expert, Mr. C. W. Hill to set up their milker. They praise Mr. Hill as excellent choice to install the machine, and that he would arrive as soon as he could. They tell President Palmer that another person could come at once, but they there was no one better than Mr. Hill.
