are distributed to those in distress, emitting
them to obtain milk either gratuitously or
at reduced prices, while hospitals and child

Furthermore, the furnishing Of excellent
milk from which q part OF the cream has
been removed enables the poor to enjoy the
essential benefits of a milk food. Through
the valuable educational work Of Decent
Ford and his successors, even wholly
SKINNED milk has come to be recognized In
Denmark as a wholesome, nourishing, and
exceptionally cheap food; and much more

Not content with the mere excellence Of
its milk supply, the company takes a human
interest in all it's employees, furnishing them
with ssdairy products at reduced prices, and
putting a premium on loyal service. It en-
ploys about two hundred boys to deliver the
milk from the wagons. They have all been
