FOX RIVER BUTTER IS FAMOUS
HILL" BRAND KNOWN
ALL OVER COUNTRY.
Beautiful Samples in the Food Show.
Something About Its Care
full Manufacture.

Beautiful samples of pure butter are eX-
hibited at the food show by the Fox
River Butter Company OF Aurora, H..
whose Glover Hill butter has become IA
nous all over the country.
The dairymen who supply the milk from
which this butter Is made are men Of
years of experience, who know that the
best results to themselves financially can
only be obtained by keeping the best
grade of cattle and keeping them in the
best possible condition.
Every day they deliver to the Fox River
creameries the milk in a perfectly sweet
and wholesome condition (ail milk that is
not in this condition being refused at the
factories). and this milk is then heated
10 uniform degree and the cream sepa-
rated from the milk by power separators.
This cream. which Is perfectly sweet is
then heated to a degree sufficient to kill
all bacteria or germs which may have
found access to the milk during the milk
ing process. This process of heating and
impediately cooling kills all these germs
and is known as pasteurization.
After the cream is cooled II Is immedi-
ately placed in tight copper-lined drums.
and is thoroughly mixed with a prepared
starter, which is nothing more or less
than absolutely pure sour milk, Soured in
a sanitary and scientific manner by the
Il culture
prepared in laboratories for that specific
purpose.
Cream at Even Temperature.
During the ripening process the air in
these drums is kept constantly moving by
a system of pumps which draws in from
the outside of the building absolutely
pure. fresh air. and forces II through dis
titled water. and it is then forced over
the cream and thence through an open
ing to the outside air.
In this manner and by means of water
constantly flowing around these drums,
the cream is kept at an even temperature
and slowly ripened unit! the proper acid
ity for churning has been developed The
cream is then pumped by vacuum pumps
into the churns. and is churned and
washed and the salt worked into the but
ter entirely by machinery, SO that IL is not
handled by hand In any manner.
After the butter is sufficiently worked ii
is placed in large boxes, put into a cool
ing room and sufficiently hardened to be
cut or divided into bricks of one pound
each. The bricks are then wrapped and
placed in boxes in the manner in which
you see them at our stores.
Quality the Aim.
From first TO last the Fox River COM
pany has but one aim in view. and that is
quality" In the factories il has en-
tirely eliminated wood in every place pos
sible. on account OF its susceptibility to
surrounding influences. using stone and
cement in every place that it Is possible
to do so. Lime. acknowledged by all 10
be ore of the best cleansing factors in
producing sanitary conditions. is used
without restraint on the floors as we'll as
the walls of the creameries so as to
maintain at all times conditions abso-
lutely sanitary.
Cleanliness In every detail Is the great
essential requirement under which the
famous Glover Hill' butter is made. and
its enviabe reputation and constantly in
creasing demand has been attained by
true merit.
