Shipping Milk in Tanks

Why not transport milk in a sanitary
tank? Denmark has been doing it for
months and milk has been shipped long
distances and recently all the way to
Berlin in such cars. The tanks are not
boiler plate cylinders, but wooden casks
each of 30 cubic feet capacity; two OF
which are fastened to the floor of the
covered freight car. We all know how
the old-fashioned tin cans are cumber-
some, expensive and subject to damage.
BY the use OF tank cars for milk the
cost of handling can be greatly reduced
and the unsightly and unsanitary old
"ailk can be banished from the landscape.
