An inventory of the 1475 dairy factories that have operated in the Netherlands provides a good insight into this ideological background. The vast majority were named after the village or geographical area, and almost 10 percent have inspirational names such as “Harmony,” “Together,” and even “Union is Strength.” One notable exception, however, was “Time Will Tell” from Krommeniedijk (Willemsens and de Wuit 1995).
