Leaving this factory he acted as assistant to S. G. Lawson for one year at the Black River Factory, and was then engaged by W. O. Wert of Avonmore for one year. Mr. Cooper's next move was to Bonville where he worked for J. S. Myers for three years when he purchased this factory three years ago. Mr. Cooper has made a great success of his business since he purchased it, and his patrons have grown rapidly in number until now he has one of the largest factories on the Cornwall Cheese Board. Mr. Cooper's proficient knowledge of the cheese making industry and his energy and application ensure for him a bright future in the dairying industry in this district. |
