Stoughton Pure
Milk Co.
Original
location on East Main street was home of
the company since it was organized December 1st, 1917. The company was started by Mr. Ole O. Hoel
and his brother-in-law, T.A. Thompson, and the two did all the work for a time. By April 1930 some 15 were employed by Stoughton Pure Milk Co. and the company moved nearby to a new location facing Fourth Street behind Roe Automotive.
In addition to milk, the
company made ice cream and butter.
