Under Miss Caubes arrangement the milk to certain

Darmens League and you had pay cash and carry home
to get tor cents There shopkeepers who
died milk IN June at cents but they would charging at least
cents on the first of August That miracle but
would be in August when flies heat increase pasurag

In June the problem to get rid of the milk in August
problem is to get enough Of it. Prices will vary with
dltlons. The Country Milk Company never did give Miss
Cauble list of these stores but they did some June milk
