BABCOCK TO BE SITE OF NEW $300,000 CRANBERRY STATION Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., has announced plans for con- struction of a receiving and screening station in the village Ox Babcock, Wise, estimated to cost around $200,000 and sched- uled for completion in time for the 1966 harvest season. Lloyd Wolfe, Wisconsin field manager for Ocean Spray, said the new facility is expected to provide seasonal employment for approximately 75 people this fall. He said specifications for the building are to be completed soon and the construction con- tract award will follow shortly. The site is adjacent to the Bab- cock railroad station. The plans provide for a 150 by 200 foot, one-story building. Barring last-minute changes in specifications, it will be of metal construction, according to Wolfe. The plant will contain equip- ment for sorting and shipping cranberries grown by Wisconsin members of Ocean Spray, and will also have office quarters. Wolfe, who will oversee opera- tion of the new facility, said the corporation's Wisconsin office, now located at 321 12th Ave. S. in Wisconsin Rapids, will be moved to Babcock at the con- clusion of the 1966 harvest sea- son. In making the first public an- nouncement of the project at Ocean Spray's headquarters in Hanson, Mass., Edward Gels- thorpe, executive vice president and chief executive officer, said: "Erection of the new Wisconsin receiving and screening plant is part of the cooperative's pro- gram of expanded services to grower members through a plant modernization and building pro- gram. This program is in keep- ing with Ocean Spray's growth over the past three years in both sales dollars and increase in cash per barrel return to its grower ; Berries will be shipped directly from the Babcock station to Ocean Spray processing plants in North Chicago, 111., and on the Pacific coast.
