Rothechtld, ‘Treasurer, No, 1919 Madison Avenue, —$<—$— To Our Patrons: The diminishing margin of profit per quart of milk handled by our Farm Products Division, which margin of profit for the year ended June 30th, 1916, was but two and six-tenths (.0026) mills per quart, has forced us to make certa n price adjustments. In order that the producer, consumer and all interested in the fluid milk problem may know the real situation we print herewith the true story of last year’s accomplishment in our Eastern Territory. These figures have been certified by Haskins & Sells, a firm of certified public accountants, of national reputation, a copy of whose certificate follows. These figures are final and should be the accepted guide to all interested rather than any preliminary figures given in interviews.

In endeavoring to meet this situation the management has thought best to adjust prices of those products which least affect the majority and which constitute the minor portion only of our sales, It is not our intention to make any increase in the price of our regular nine cent quart bottle of milk unless confronted by con- ditions not now existing.
