Skilled Labor

When it comes to the success or
failure of Creamery, the first consi.
deration is the buttermaker. Is the
operator man that knows his bust
ness? Is he sober and industrious? Is
he scrupulously clean and neat in APP
pearance? Ia he q man whose word is
good with the patrons? Ia he O. K.
with the test and does every patron
get what is coming to him? Does he
understand the boiler, the engine, the
pumps, the churn, The cooler, the
ripenor aud does ne keep them and
the Creamery floor all clean? Does he
know enough to make bntter for the
market he SELLS in? Can he make q
good starter? Can he make good ice
cream? Will he churn early or late ac-
cording to the acidity and tempera-
ture of the cream?
There are many things that de.
volve upon the buttermaker to do
that are not mentioned here. Butter
that commands AZ cents pound must
be handled with the greatest of care.
A olive wire" in the business watches
his raw material continually and at
all times keep ahead of undesirable
fermentation. If our creameries have
man that knows his business YOU
had better 6eep him.

RATES SOUTH
To the People Of Audubon and
Extra and Vicinity

Have asked our company to meet
rates in transportation given by some
other companies, and here is its mes
sage in answer:
Houston, Texas, Jan. q, 1912
]. T. Afford,
Audubon, Iowa,
Taking into consideration exceed
ingly low price and remarkably easy
terms and the fact that we have
superior land; also superior system of
irrigation than others in the Valley
we can't afford to make prospects and
such inducements as you mention;
other companies are asking much
higher prices, much larger payments,
and prospects should know they are
paying their way.
We have superior lands, superior sys-
tenn or irrigation; offered at much lower
prices and on much easier terms than
the other companies are doing, anu we
believe that after prospec, S have inspec-
ted the same that they will agree with
us-what they would save in fare is
small to what they would save in value
of lands in case of investment.
John Hannah, Secretary
So to those that desire to make the
trip with us we cannot guarantee any
reduction from regular excursion rates
except to purch sers whose fare will be
refunded to purchasers of Twenty acres
and proportionally on smaller tracts
