Sterling Daily Standard, 1910
"In December, 1910, I bought out 2 ice cream plants in Sterling and the others had a larger interest, and the firm became Hey Brothers. We moved into a new building, built in the winter as 212-214 E. 3rd St., in 1911." (from "The Story of My Lifetime of 86 Years," by Clement Hey) "In 1913 [Jackson] found a milk business in Marshalltown, Iowa, and he wanted to buy and asked if I would back him... After several months Abe went to Marshallton and took a milk route. He built it up far ahead of the others by delivering before breakfast. "We shipped our homogenizer to Marshalltown. During the next summer Jackson sold the homogenizer instead of using it to smooth the ice cream mix. I told him that he would have to buy us out or we would throw him out. He would rather use cream that was ripe and use soda to sweeten it for a bigger overrun. I believed in the sweetest possible cream homogenized and he had not consulted me on the sale. So we sold out." (from "The Story of My Lifetime of 86 Years," by Clement Hey)
