To supply a thriving town or | a sprawling metropolis with its morning’s milk every morning, with no favors from the weather man, is a job to test all the resources of men and mechanisms. With proof of performance regularly appearing on ap- pointed doorsteps, the public takes punctuality for granted. The fact that delivery is only one of the functions of the corporate milkman does not carry all the way from the processing plant to the cus- tomer’s consciousness. | What is done to keep milk | - wholesome and healthful is a worth-while story of the productive partnership of | _ science and industry. | That purity and promptness have exacted no premium from the consumer is trace- able to the corporate milk- man’s closeness with costs— as a rule, the larger the dis- tributor, the lower his de- livery and administration | costs per quart.
