    Historical note

    Kleefeld Co-operative Diary Limited was founded in 1938. A fire in December 1947 destroyed the early records. The cheese factory in Kleefeld (founded in 1933), co-operatively owned by local farmers closed in 1957. The cooperative ceased business in May 1976 and closed its affairs by the end of 1977.

    Scope and content note

    This fonds consists of general ledgers, annual financial reports, income tax returns, customer account ledger sheets, inventories, minute books, employee time books, debt claims, mortgages, employee records and a administration manual. Detailed and daily financial records, bank deposits, cancelled checks, invoices, sales slips, egg delivery receipts, bills of lading, daily cash reports and brochures were largely disposed except or a few samples.
