LATE MILK DELIVERY -

Breakfast Cream That Notice
of Change Was Given

Complains were made by numerous
householders In many sections of Philadel-

of thS morning mll;. Hundreds of work.
men who are obliged to leave their homes
very early missed the dash of cream in
their coffee.
Dealers to whom complaints were made
reminded their customers that adequate
notice OF n change in the delivery schedule
had been given during the last week. The
delivery is now made at O'clock instead
OF five or six and eliminates much of the
hardship which drivers and horses were
obliged to encounter In the winter on ac.
count of the early hour.

that In cold weather milk delivered AZ

on the following morning. The early de.
