Schroeder's C***r Mill was located in Bald Eagle, Route 425 and Deer road, in the meadow.
Did your family store a jug or barrel of c***r in the cellar? How long would it last?

The need for a place for farmers in the area to sell livestock was noticed so in 1949 a group of men got together and formed the Mason-Dixon Livestock Market Inc.. The original building, located east of Stewartstown, burnt down one Saturday night February 8, 1964 and is now the present day site of a Baptist church. A second building was built along Rt. 24 ,west of New Park, on land owned by Wilbur Marstellar. The first auction was held September 1964 in the new building. Elwood Sechrist was president, Bob and his brother Tom were auctioneers, Millie, Bob’s wife, was the office manager, and John Hope Anderson was the clerk. Every Monday evening they sold feeder pigs, market hogs, feeder cattle, and beef cattle. On December 30, 1985 Bob Sechrist held his last livestock auction for he sold the livestock portion of the company to Stan Nagle. He continued the public sale portion of the company up until 2009. This large-than-life size Hereford Steer stood out along the highway for many years.

Who remembers Orchard Valley Farm? Their creative advertising is still on the old slate roof today.
First photo is in 1951 and the second is the mid 1980’s. The orchard was owned by Ralph Anderson. Mr Anderson sold his farm in 1965 to Mr Bowman.
