She appeared in a | scarlet and black beaded broadcloth costume, which was made for her by The Milk Boy Puts on Long Pants IT takes more than milk to make a milkman. | To serve a big city requires a processing plant, machinery for ‘‘pasteurizing,” bottle washing, bottling and capping, wagons and auto trucks. | Good as the equipment may be, it wears out, gets out of date. While it is in use it has to be serviced, maintained. Replacement costs can’t be dodged. ‘Wages represent more than half the operating expense. How to pay a fair wage and keep the price of milk to a level which means volume sales is a problem that goes with the milk business. Use of route wagons and the time of drivers is economical only when the quantity of milk, cream and other dairy products distributed ap- proaches the full ‘“load” they could efficiently handle. Other things being equal—the bigger the distributor in re- sources and facilities, the lower the unit cost of dis- tribution—and the lower the ¢‘overhead” charge per quart. Management, inspection, su- pervision, accounting and the like bear less heavily per unit of product the greater the number of units sold. Only a big company is big enough to process the milk left over . . . the milk the public does not buy in bottles. What is not needed for the “‘bottle trade” is used in other products. Cream is obtained by separating the butterfat from the whole milk. Skim milk is converted into con- densed milk. It is also used to make milk powder and casein. Condensed and evaported milk are salable by-products. Butter manufacture has become a dairy mainstay. These products enlarge the market for the farmer’s milk. prsp PRESIDENT CHESTNUT FARMS- CHEVY CHASE DAIRY “Put Your Car Safe Hands” Our 45th Anniversary car can be restored to new car efficiency and appearance—Dby (Al CARL RPORATED ““Certainly” WE DO— Complete Motor Analyzing Little Giant Tune Up Brake Relining Bear Frame and Axle Straightening Body and Fender Repairing Top Work and Upholstering Washing, Polishing and Greasing Batteries — Tires — Accessories Dave Morris Auto Service ME. 1230 in the Tonawonda Indlans.
