interview today with Mr.. T II. Bert
ram, of WATERFOWL, Wis, who is the
representative of one of the greatest
cheese and butter-producing sections
n the world. He represents the
great house of Jacob JOSH, located in
his home city, whose sales Of cheese
are not confined to small quantities,
but are more frequently in ton lots. In

lives American, brick, Limburger and
Schweitzerkase are manufactured in
immense quantities, and if Mr.. Bert
rams orders elsewhere are in keeping
with those taken here we think il
must require the product Of an entire
state to furnish the supply. Mr..
Bertram is a quiet, conservative gen
tleman, thoroughly businesslike in
manner, and has made many friends
