Butter
Talk

The fact that the quality of Butter
marketed today largely depends upon the grade Of
salt used admits of argument.
Two qualifications in Dairy Salt are indispen-
sable
st. Absolute purity, which insures good
flavor and keeping qualities.
3D. Quickness in dissolving, insuring a
perfect distribution with minimum
amount of working
The fact that all the prize butter made in
Maine New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut
last year was sailed with Worcester Salt, and that
90 per cent of the creamery and dairy men in
New England use nothing but Worcester, proves
beyond doubt that Worcester is the Standard Of
Dairy Salt, and embodies the above indispensable
qualifications. Also Best for Table and Kitchen.
