The Mammoth Cheese and Cheese Factories

James McIntyre (1828?–1906) · Poems of James McIntyre · 1889

Among the first who took stock in
The mammoth cheese, were Bros. Noxon;
They made the great hoop and the screw,
And the strong truck which the mighty drew.

In dairy progress we do trace the
Mammoth curd to Robert Facey;
His perseverence all do honor,
The Harrietsville Factory owner.

Reflecting back our thoughts do run
To him Centennial prize did won;
Highest honor it was gained by Dunn,
The owner of the Factory’s son.
