close enough to Minnesota to be a
real good state. He said there are
900 creameries and 100 cheese fac
tories operating in Minnesota. He
urged better dairy products than
substitutes, saying the people are
willing TO pay for quality and that
If the operator of a creamery or
cheese factory permits a poor quail
ty to be turned out, it means the end
Of the concern.
Cream cheese served at the BAN
