Vast Amount of Matted
Milk Consumed Here

Some few years ago when malt
ed milk first came on the market
it was very difficult to introduce it.
Now, after persistent advertising, it
has reached an enormous sale and
every soda fountain has its electric
matted milk mixer.
When the state prohibitory law
went into effect and Colorado's
breweries were put out of busi-
ness, the Coors Of Golden began
making matted milk and it is surely
a high grade article they have put
on the market. Coor's Matted
milk is much finer grained and
whittier than the older brands and
seems to have a superior flavor.
Fl. A. Elliott has contracted for
the exclusive sale of Coor's Matted
milk for Idaho Springs and reports
the brand is meeting with popular
favor. Mr.. Elliott buys his matted
milk in 100 pound lots and says
that hundred pounds doesn't last
long these days.
