SOME MORE FACTS

Mr.. Brady in his communication to
THE TRANscRIpT states that he has done
some investigating, and has discovered
that the editor of the Rural Nev Yorker
has no interests in creameries. The writer
has never said lie had. Mr.. B. sta 8
that lie discovered the writer was in the
employ of one firm but not the other.
He lB. caused to be printed IN The
Ner Era the following, to-wit;
1--WE have no.one by the name Of.
Harding) you mention in our employ.
Signed,
WM A. HALL. Pres.
/ offer here letter which Mr.. /. B..
Floyd, Of Binghamton, N. Y, received
from the office OF the Casein Company OF
America. which speaks for itself; clearly
showing that Mr.. Brady disregarded
truth or facts-even to the extent OF
printing or causing to be printed extracts
from his letter received from the Casein
Con. .pamy, and to make it more deadly he
supplied little Of his own
NEW YORK, July IS, 1904.
Mr.. L. T. FLoYD,
Binghamton, n. Y.
DEAR SIR Yours of tile 18th Just
received. Mr.. Hall is at-present absent
from town, but might explain that the
letter in question was written by myself
(for Mr.. HalD to Cook & Brady, and
read as follows =
Replying to your inquiry, ! believe
there is a man by that name in the en-
ploy of Mr.. T. B. Floyd of Binghamton.
Mr.. Floyd is builder OF cooperative
creameries, and has done more or less
work in contracting casein for us.
"We have no one by the name you
mention in our employ"
| really cannot see now how | could
have stated the matter any more clearly
without going into details.
Yours very truly,
CASEIN COMPANY OF AMERICA.
A. NJ Perkins, Private Sect.
The writer at once took the matter up
with Mr.. Floyd with the above results,
and I wish to ask the milk producers in
the Middletown distrist if the methods
pursued by Mr.. Brady does not clearly
show his intention to hold yon within
his grasp at any cost. He (Mr. B. rather
boastingly asserts that in December 1902,
his firm paid one man 81 .66 per 100 lbs.
for his milk. Well why not /? butter
was worth 80, cents at that time. The
writer takes pleasure in naming one man
going to the Quarryville Creamery who
received Sl.72 per cent. for his milk in
December 1908, when butter was never
above 27 cents per lb. The gentleman's
name is Pearcy Alexander, R. F. d. No. |,
and upon request I shall be glad to fur
nish any milk producer here who is
honestly interested in my proposition,
with the names OF all the patrons of that
or any other plant we have installed. It
is not how much you get for butter fat,
but how much butter fat you are paid for.
If Cook & Brady can now pay you two or
three cents more per Ii. for butter fat, why
did they not do SO before came here
I wonder if it was on account of selling
the milk they never bought, back to the
man who owned it. Both Mr.. Brady
and The New Era are certain our method
installed here would be a failure. Do
they wish to assume that the farmers
here are more ignorant than in thous-
ands OF other communities?
Does a child need constant assistance
after it has been taught to walk
When the milk producers here are pro-
yided with the proper means and man
ner Of doing their own business, they'll
do it, and do it just as well as any in
dividual
In conclusion l wish to correct Mr..
Brady on another matter. He ecannot buy
a plant, such as my company purpose to
build kere for $260O, or any other sum
less than that named in their contract,
and my company gives no specifications
or plans for two story factory, nor does
any prices they publish include anything
other than goods F. 0. B., cars at factory
in Chicago, and our buildings are not
cheap affairs such as creamery organi-
zers build.
