BEST QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
Often Happens That the Producer Of
Good Dairy Articles Does Not
Find Ready Market.
(By J. CADwALLADER, Louisian. Ex

Quality Is the keynote to the sue
cessful marketing Of dairy products.
People always have and always will
pay q premium for quality, therefore
1t Is useless to expect to market dairy
products successfully unless those
products are Of better quality than the
average. Unfortunately It often hap
pens that producers of good dairy
produce do not always find q good
market, but this does not signify that
there Is not a demand for the product
at a good price. but simply means a
lack Of business ability on the part of
the farmer In securing q good market.
He. too. often depends upon his home
town or upon his immediate commu-
nifty for a market for his products and
Is too often satisfied to sell to the
middleman and the grocery store.
In this day Of the parcel post even
perishable products can be sent great
distances for a few cents, making It
possible to sell such products as but.
ter. cheese. ETC., direct from the farm
to the consumer. There are hundreds
of people in our towns and cities who
would be only too glad to get dairy
products direct from the farmer II the
farmers who have these products for
sale would insure them good uniform
products.
Ordinarily q grocery store receives
anywhere from to cents for han.

made his butter which he sold to the

Attractions at The Theatres
Players MEET IN same
THEATRE after SIX YEARS

II Is a strange coincidence that two
of The Playhouse players should meet
in this city after they had not seen
each other for six years. This is the
case. however, with Thomas Emory
and Miss Edna Hibbard.
u was in Milwaukee that the couple
first met nine years ago At that time
Mr Emory was a very young man and
Miss Hibbard was a child, playing
child parts. Three years after this
they met again in another city. and
nov, after six years. they meet in
Wilmington
What seems so strange 10 me-" re-
marked Mr.. Emory. last night, as he
and Miss Hibbard talked 10 a report
er. lis that Miss Hibbard has grown
up. II appears as if she ought TO still
be a child. Il does not seem six years
since we met. and I can only realize
it when ] look at her and remember
that she is the leading lady Of the COM
pany."
Mr. Emory has appeared in Will
mington before. He was a member
Of the original Conness and Edwards
Company at the Avenue Theatre.
There is a big difference in the
theatres he remarked. "This Is
certainly a fine theatre and a fine
hotel. You board at the hotel and
you appear at the theatre You do
not have to go outside to the theatre
and you do not have TO buy a new
overcuat every winter" he added. for
Mr.. Emory is a good bit of a wit.
"Oh / could save a coat Just as
easily as you can" remarked Miss Hib-
bard. but. laying all jokes aside.
il certainly makes a handy combina
ton. II is "a big advantage when
you are rehearsing and : am certainly
