Otto Monsted Book Help Required


I wonder if anyone can help the person below with his query on an Otto Monsted book ? As we have posted before ... 
 
"Otto Monsted was a Dane went into partnership with local man John Broomer, operating a margarine factory at Godley, (in an old hat factory) near Hyde. Broomer sold his share of the business shortly after but is credited for having established the first margarine works in Britain".

Otto Monsteds Margarine Factory in Godley


 "Denmark, A brief survey"

Dear sirs:  One of the several books that were left to me by my father-in-law, Edgar Jepsen, is a booklet (title above) published under the auspices of the Otto Monsted Foundation, Copenhagen, Denmark.  Printed by Egmont H. Petersen, by Appointment Printers to H.M. the King of Denmark.  Drawings are by A. Sikker Hansen.
I would appreciate any information you might be able to give me re this booklet. For instance – it has no publish date and no authors name.
 Thank you for any information you may have.

Otto Monsted & the Birth of The British Margarine Industry.

The following letter, article and photographs were recently sent to us by Anthony Broomer.I have printed it in full as it is very informative indeed. 
Anthony is the Grandson of John Broomer who we have mentioned previously  on this blog.

I hope you can read the family trees - I'm afraid I can't make them any bigger to show on here. If you have trouble,click the image which should make it bigger,fingers crossed.

The Maypole Dairy

Photobucket
This charming postcard was sent to us by John F. It shows the Maypole Dairy in Godley. This stood on the site of Otto Monsteds Margarine Factory on Mottram Road. A lovely building indeed. The Maypole Dairy ,was in turn, taken over by the Wall's Meat Company circa 1925.

I think the Olive Tree Pub is still in existence here and shown far left of the picture.It was closed down around 1922 and later demolished.
Thanks John for sharing the postcard.
