Van Camps Milk comes
In S and 10-cent cans. at
your grocer's. II Is put
up at our diaries, in Ave
states, where we N ii K
20 COO Holstsin cows.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-06-30
But Be Careful

Condensed milk is half sugar You can't use
il for cooking. Don't think that Van Camps is
like that.
And don't think that all evaporsted milks are
alike.
Van Camps milk shows about per cent of
butter fat. That's because use Holstein
milk, and take out two-thirds of the water.
But milk Jess rich. and with more water left
in may still be called "evaporated."
If you'll compare Van Camps with other
brands, you will see what a difference there IS
Yet others cost as much
as Van Camps.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-06-30
Six Cents Per Quart

Van Camps IS as thick as thick eresm-so
thick that you add one part water for coffee.
Yet it doesn't cost half what you pay your milk
man +, cream.
ADD 40 parts water and you have rich milk
The cost of such milk, when you buy Van
Camps by the case, is BIT six cents per quart
Then you have no waste-no milk lef. over.
That saving. in itself, is enormous.
So veu have a cow in your ktchen-rich milk
or cream whenever you want it. And it costs
less thin hand-to-mouth buying.
You have pure, rich milk for less than you
pay Ycsr milkman.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-06-30
Nothing But Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water eyaporated. Nothing
whatever is added. Nothing is subtrscted save
water.
It's not peculiar milk
Our COWS are the finest breed. Our dairies
are in the best daiying sections. Our milk is
evaporated while It is fresh
That slight almond fsvor-apparent only when
the milk is drunk colds due to sterilization
It mears nothing added II indicates simple
purity.
Whan you heat the miik-as in cooking or
coffee-the almond flavor disappears. You have
then the natural favor of milk or cream, save
our surprising richness.

MatchIess Milk Dishes

Note the wonderful favor and richness. Taen
you'll forever use it.
Yet that favor is not artificial It comes solely
from the whole, rich milk
You are used to cooking with half-miIk-you
who buy from the milkman For miIkrnan's
milk separates, before and after you get it.
The butter fat rises; the solids fall You get

RICHMOND. June S0.-Richmond will

Just think for moment what Van Camps
Milk means.
A milk you can serve and know that there
isn't germ of any kind in it.
A milk you can cook with and know you
are getting all the butter fat that belongs
TO it
It is both milk and cream.
Think how convenient, how enticing it is
TO have pure milk and cream on tap.
Why don't you? 1t isn't expensive. 1t
costs less than milkman's milk.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-06-30
No Disease Germs

The bane of raw milk is disease germs. For
any germ in milk breeds with frightful rapidly.
There may be germs of consumption from
tubercular cows, which are common Infections
may come from diseased miIkmen or from dirty
diaries.
These germs make raw milk the most terrible
foe of humanity. For one thing, two-thirds our
infant mortality is due to them.
Van Camps milk is germless.
Our cows are inspected; so are the men who
milk them Our diaries are sanitary. Our
buildings are built without wood We make
business of cleanliness
Then Van Camps is pasteurized after the cans
are sealed. Not germ of any kind can remain
in it
