We had a sample of the brick cheese
manufactured at the new factory in the

say it is just as good as any manufactur-

they find ready sale for it and that
every body prefers it to the American
cheese. From facts cleaned from

June they have been paying IS cents
per hundred pounds for milk. They
make cheese every day except Sundays
The farmers who supply this factory
are highly pleased with the treatment
of this firm.
