Talk

marketed today largely depends upon the grade of
salt used, admits of no argument
Two qualifications in Dairy Salt are indspen-
sable
1st Absolute purity, which ensures good
flavor and keeping qualities

perfect distribution with a minimum
amount of working.
The fact that all the prize butter made in
Maine New Hampshire, and Vermont last year
was sailed with Worcester Salt, and that 90 per
cent. OF the creamery and dairy in New Eng
land use nothing but Worcester proves beyond
doubt that Worcester is the Standard of Dairy
Salt, and embodies the above indispensable quail
fCations.
