Determined ON Purity.

After inspecting all these details

vinced of the reasons why Prof.
Hlrd gave Mr.. Hartung the in
dorsement he did, and why his
business is rapidly increasing among
people who want pure milk and
know that there is no guarantee OF
the. purity of milk except the char
acter and standing and the facilities
of the dairymap who deals in it. IL
takes capital, experience and strong
sense of honor to make a success of
dealing in sanitary milk-an uncon-
querable determination that the milk
shall be pure, no matter how much
effort and money it takes to make it
SO. And all these things Mr..
Hartung has, the experience coming
from boyhood on the farm, follow
ing by running a milk farm himself,
anu tIlen SlN years ago gong INTO
that end of the business on which
rests the final responsibility for fur
nishing pure milk-that of the dairy
man, and working out his present
plan and plant in close touch with
the health department, studying the
science of milk as expounded by the
best authorities and applying the
best he can learn without regard
to the cost. 1t is such dairymen as
Mr.. Hartung that deserve the pat
ronage of the public They are few

Always. Our drivers would have
no chance to fill the bottles in the

the milk in the wagons is already

to the cans that had come from the

show that not a particle of dirt re-
mained in the seams about the top.
Its easy not to wash this part of
the can carefully and when it comes
back over the road full of milk the
milk splashing up into the top as it
does will be contaminated. So we
are very careful about this
