THE NEW
n. milk PLANT
lis Effect Upon Producer and
Consumer.

The Sanitary Milk Plant now being
erected by The Akron Pure Milk Co.
is nearing completion. They expect
to be In operation by about Jan. 10th.
The past few years have witnessed
some wonderful changes In the matter
OF handing the milk supply in our best
cities. Hundreds of new methods and
appliances unknown ten years ago are
In vogue now in the management and
care OF this great stream of milk.
This company is being equipped with
the best and most modern machinery,
Their object is to give the consumer a
perfectly pure milk, delivered under
the best system possible.
70 do this they must also have the
cooperation Of both producer and con.
sumer, which will result to the ad.
vantage Of both parties from the fact
that the farmer will receive more for
his lnilk and the customer will receive
better milk for the same money.
This statement is made from the
fact that many of the local milk pro-
ducers have closed contracts with this
company at prico considerably in
advance over that formerly obtained
Some may wonder how they can af
ford TO pay more for their supply of
milk than the average milk man and
yet sell for the same price. a
There are two resaons for this. First
The routes will be combined SO that
one man will be able to deliver
more than twice as much in the same
time as formerly. Second. This COM
pany will be able to avoid losses that
milk men have always had to contend
with.
Tho milk Is brought to the plant each
day where it is clarified and pasteuriz-
cd being handled upon the most hy-
gienic principles.
An inspection will convince any one
that milk thus treated is pure and
healthful and aside from saving the
lives of n great many children annu-
ally and helping to stamp out those
dread diseases so often traced to milk
l. will save this community much sick
ness perhaps death, by giving the peo-
pie a perfect confidence i'm the purity
and healthfulness Of the milk they are
using.
