Saves About Half

Now comes the strangest fact. This ideal milk
whole, rich and sterile, costs less than milk
wagon milk. This Holstein milk, from model
dairies less than milk from mongrel cows.
We save you the cost of the milknan's daily
delivery. That costs more than the milk. And
we save you all the waste. In the average home
the use OF Van Camps cuts milk bills right in
We are milking $4,000 cows per day to supply

many use it?

100 feet high viii be placed on one OF
the towers. It 10 deefone4 that these
towers shall be eight feet square ct the
top and have statrways their sntif D

working buildings Of concrete oonstruc-
ton will be required to assist IN the
operation Of the wireless system.
