The Creamery Package Manufacturing Company produced processing equipment and other goods for the dairy industry, which had a large presence in and around Chicago in the early 20th century. The company is representative of Chicago's significant food processing industry; the city's position as a transportation hub meant processing companies could quickly send their goods to larger customers in the food industry.
