10 build up such a milk business as
was never known here before; In some
respects no such business has ever been |
known anywhere. He arranged, first

cows on certain farms. Then he cstab. |
lished his milk routes, and 10y prompt
and perfect service established him

mers. His business grew constantly.

milk at reasonable prices, and he
