BUTTER FOR EVERY ONE.
What the Continental Creamery Com.
pany Can Do.

There is an exhibition at the Midwin-
ter show of Topeka product that is
making this city famous from one end
of the country to the other.
OF course every one in Kansas knows
Primrose butter. All do not know,
however, that this butter is shipped to
very nearly every state in the union, to
Mexico, to Hawaii, to the Philippines
and China. Shipments are made every
week to London where the Topeka pro-
duct receives favor in competition with
finest the world affords.
Topeka may well be proud of the Con-
tinental Creamery company. 1t is
recognized as the largest institution of
the kind in the world. The company
occupies $4,000 feet of floor space; it's
productive power is $4,000 pounds of
butter and 5000 pounds of cheese per
day.
1,7OO farmers receive from it an aver
age of $50, 900 month for milk; 400 peo-
pie are employed by the company, 70
in the central factory at Topeka
In the promotion of the dairy indus
try in Kansas no institution has had
more influence than the Continental
Creamery company. For the year which
has just closed the Continental Cream
cry produced more than eight million
pounds of butter and one million of
cheese. This product is almost entirely
that of Kansas, although points in Colo
RADIO, Nebraska and Oklahoma have
contributed to the aggregate. This
creamery is in the advance guard of
in every particular, in recognition of
which the worlds greatest butter mar
kets have given the Topeka product the
highest price.
Primrose butter is winning its world
wide reputation on its merits. 1t is
made in creations cleanest creamery,
where the exact science of butter max
ing has been brought to the highest de-
gree of efficiency. To preserve the good
ness of Primrose butter from the cream
cry to the table every pound is packed
49,
lined within and sealed without
The Primrose package is the only
known method of successfully preserv-
ing the purity of butter under all con-
ditions. It's use for this purpose is
solely controlled by the Continental
Creamery company.
The butter business owes to the Con-
tinental Creamery another progressive
and important idea-the Swimming sta
ton. The success of the Skimming sta
ton means more to the promotion of
the creamery industry than does any
other one thing except the farmers ed
ucation.
Swimming stations are plants at
which the farmers milk is received and
the cream separated therefrom. These
stations are successfully and profitably
operated where creameries making but
ter would fail The Swimming station
provides a daily cash market for milk
where under other conditions there
could be no market except the grocery
store where the varied grades of butter
are sometimes traded for sugar and
calico.
Cream from skimming stations is
shipped to Topeka from distances ex-
ceeding 300 miles. To receive this cream
in condition for the finest butter is pos
sible only by another method employed
by the Continental Creamery company
in advance of all other creameries and
that is known as pasteurization.
This process is practiced at each of
its 200 stations. This method is the
heating of cream to $50 degrees and
rapidly cooling to a low tempera ture.
The heating destroys all injurious bac-
terra and after cooling the cream begins
its long journey to Topeka in perfect
condition for producing butter of fine
flavor and sperior keeping quality
