Today, chances are you’ll see her name in grocery stores from Maine to California, hear her “P.S., hope you like them” trade mark on radio and television, and meet prospective investors in her firm as far distant at South Africa. Dottie, a 40-year-old housewife and mother, has two plants in op- eration, and a third to start pré duction in a few months. Still an- other is under construction here to replace the old one. Reason for the rapid transition from small-town housewife to man- ufacturer is an eight-inch slab of dough, frozen and packaged. The dough, from which 35 to 44 cookies can be made, bakes in from 8 to 10 minutes. Gourmets and stockhold- ers by the thousands are an indica- tion of the cookies success. The break that started Dottie Ferguson to success was a triple fracture of her ankle. It plunged her and her family into an $1,8000 debt to doctors, hospitals and drug- gists. Searching for a new source of family income and trying to keep busy at home that spring, Dottie turned to her kitchen and cookies. Finally satisfied, she sold her first order of eight dozen boxes to a neighborhood grocer in 1952. Oth- ers asked for cookies and the busi- ness got underway. The Fergusons started operat- tions with the help of their two daughters, Ann and Becky. Then production moved trom the kitch- en to the basement of the Fergu- | son home, which was converted in- Martini graduated from/to a smail-scale bakery.

Things were getting beyond me in our house.” Then came the fast establishment of the plants. By this time Dottie’s husband, Frank, had resigned as manager of a propane plant to help his wife fulltime. “We had always dreamed, like everybody does, of having a busi- ness of our own. But to think we started with just what I had in the kitchen.” Dottie shakes her | head in amazement. “But actually, it isn’t too surpris- | ing. Good food will always find | a place.” Last year Dottie value stock. It was a community project she says. Friends, neigh- bors, the doctor who had set her ankle, all bought stock. Even the laundryman took $10 worth. Today the plants here and at Grand Rapids are turning out 120,- 000 dozen boxes per month. The Los Angeles plant will produce about 100,000 dozen boxes. The new plant at Greeley will begin in August turning out 45,000 dozen boxes a month, doubling the output of the present plant which will be abandoned. Back when Dottie was trying to| find “just the right kind of cookie that could be baked on the spur} of the moment,” she ran into dif- ficulties. “I learned soon that about the .

This film is classed as being one of the best Christian films ever produced. The setting of the film for the most part is on the campus of Westmont College, a Christian college located at Santa Barbara, Calif. Colleen Townsend, the leading character of the story, portrays the part of a religious young lady, who, as the title indicates, makes a great discovery, this discovery being her soul’s salvation and a new} life in Christ. | The film includes many well- known Christian songs and _ in- cludes various scenes of campus life at Westmont College. | The film is being shown free of charge and everyone is invited to attend the rally. | \VEW To Give Away TES Set Saturday Night A Zenith television set will be| given away- tomorrow night at the VFW post home, 325 Eliza- beth Street, at 8 p.m. All donations will be used for the benefit of the VFW’s welfare fund. | Skating At Bayview Park At 7:30 Tonight The regular Friday night skating, sponsored by the city recreation department, will be- gin at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

All children are invited to take part in the weekly skat- ing and to become members of the Skating Club. ———— biggest problem was to get the dough starting to rise before it was frozen and then get to rise again during the baking. “It was a surprise when I found exactly the right mix, but I knew I had just what I wanted. My ex- periments,” Dottie smiles, ‘were- n't like in a laboratory. I'm a kitchen cook, not a test tube cook.” Dottie says the leavening is the secret of her cookie formula. She says she and her husband are the only ones who know how to mix it. Ferguson mixes the leavening and sends it to other plants. Dottie, ‘a baker’s daughter, ad-| mits her life is becoming ‘‘a lit-| tle mixed up” by the mushroom- | ing growth of her business. “At the start,” she says. “I wondered if we could sell all the| cookies we made in my = Now I wonder how we’re going to make all we have on order,” =| | style shows, boat races, fair mid- Friday, July 2, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 TELEPHONE: Citizen Office, 2-5661 P BEAUTY CONTESTANT—Lynn Murchie climbs to the top in the Marathon Community Fair interest-provoking Popularity contest.
