     Avery was born in Russell, Illinois to Estella and George Vose, graduated from 
Warren Township High School, and attended the University of Illinois. He devoted his 
entire career to the dairy industry, having served in many capacities in that industry. 
He was raised on a dairy farm, was employed as a fieldman from 1930 to 1937 for Pure

the Chicago area market. From 1937 to 1940 he was employed as manager of a Kraft 
Dairy processing plant in Wittenberg, Wisconsin and managed a Pure Milk Association 
plant at Kansasville, Wisconsin from 1940 to 1942. In 1942 he joined his father to 
operate a dairy farm at Antioch, Illinois.
     Upon becoming a member of PMA as a farmer/producer he quickly became 
involved in leadership in that organization which represented over 5,000 producers for 
the Chicago market. He was elected to the board of directors, served as treasurer, 
and from 1958 to 1959 as president of the organization. In 1969 it merged with other 
cooperatives to form Associated Milk Producers, Inc. (AMPI.) He served as Treasurer 
of the Board of API from its formation in 1969 until he retired in 1974. In addition to his 
service to PMA and API he served on the board of the National Milk Producers 
Federation, as board member and chairman of the National Dairy Council, as board 
member and president of Federated Dairy Cooperatives, Central Milk Producers
