| Notes |
- Because Ralph owned a creamery in Cheney, WA at the time of the 1940 Census and because he had been a student at Washington State College, it is possible that Ralph may have been involved with the creamery that was to become the home of the now famous Couger Gold Cheese made on campus by the students.
The history of COUGAR GOLD CHEESE at Washington State University.
In the late 1930?s, the Creamery became interested in different ways to store cheese. Cans seemed to be the best option because plastic was not yet invented and wax cracked (enabling contamination). In the 1940?s, the US government and American Can Company funded WSU?s research to find a way to successfully keep the cheese in tins. One of the cheeses resulting from the research was so wonderful that it was dubbed ?Cougar GoldŽ,? after Dr. N. S. Golding ? one of the men involved in this research. Canned Cougar GoldŽ has been in production ever since. (You can learn more about its history and see other historic photos at creamery.wsu.edu)(Awesome cheese with an amazing history! A cheese that has won international awards!)
