A peek from the Town Crier’s October 4, 1968 issue – As cider mills become more scarce, the one operated by Lobsinger Bros. Ltd. in Mildmay attracts people for 50 miles around. The press, when under full pressure, has a 100-lb. pressure bearing down on the apple pulp. Photo at left: Steven Missere is opening the chute allowing the chopped apples, now known as apple pulp to fall into special mats. After several of these mats are filled, the carriage of the machine is moved under the press and from then on, it’s all juice. Photo at right: Charlie Lobsinger agreed to fill one of the Scout cider barrels… a task he has most likely done many a time during his life at the shop.
