MILK HIGHER IN MIDDLEBURY

Another advance in the retail price
of milk from my cart will go into effect
January IA, 1918, Cards will be dis
tributed to our customers in few DAYS
giving the following prices;
Ten quart tickets paid for in adj
vance, SI,Io.
Giving the cash trade the benefit
OF discount of ct. per qt)
Pints 6 cents unless purchased by
tickets paid for in advance.
Cream rs cents per half-pint jug.
Skim milk-a limited amount at s
cents per quart.
Tickets will be sold for cream and
skim milk as soon as we can get them
from the printer,
Try and arrange SO yon can buy your
tickets in advance at IL cts. thereby
saving me bookkeeping and necessity
of making out bill, carrying slow &C
counts and accommodating poor bills,
all of which adds to the cost of deliver
ing milk to your door.
This advance in price is necessary
for us to keep up with the constantly
increasing cost of production. Our
grain this winter is costing us just
double what it did last winter and at
the present time | have not been able
to hire a single man for next year,
Labor is simply "out of sight Have
made some men offers in advance OF
last years wages but have not been
able to hire one yet. Unless we can
get enough for dairy products to oper-
ate on basis SO we can live we shall
have to sell off the COWS for beef and
close up the business.
When we raised to 10 cents in Au-
gust one man in town who keeps COWS
said to me "You charge too much, it
will kill your business" That man is
now selling milk to his neighbors for
10 cents quart and it is not cared for
as we have to in order to get by our
health boards.
We have not been able to furnish
the trade with our own milk entirely
for a month and the milk | have been
able to buy outside is not satisfactory
but the best | can do. A curtailment OF
our output at this time means better
milk for those who stay by.
If anyone thinks for a minute that
we are making lot Of money out Of
milk they can just go down to the
Middlebury National bank and ask
anyone there if our account is rapidly
growing. We are trying to pay our
bills as promptly as possible but find
it as hard work as ever to do so.
/ Respectfully yours,
E. l.. WRIGHT, Milk Dealer.

LARGE OIL
COMPANY
BUYS
1000 Barrel Refining Plant
in East St. Louis Being
Moved to Kentucky.

In the issue OF May %, last of the
Bankers Journal attention was called
to the operation of the McCombs Oil
Company in Eastern Kentucky.
Based upon the comprehensive plans
OF the company at that time, its ex-
tensive acreage in the proven fields
of Estill, Wolfe, Morgan, Knott,
Allen and Lee Counties together
with the high character OF the COM
pany's management led the Journal
to predict that the McCombs Oil
Company become one of the leading
independent oil companies in the
state, Subsequent Developments
have given ample confirmation to
this prediction.
In pursuance of its policy of expan-
sion and developement in the inter-
est of the shareholders and to insure
a larger earning capacity on its capi-
talization the McComb Oil Company
has recently completed the purchase
OF the 1000 barrel plant of the Con-
solidated Oil Refining Company, at
East ST. Louis. 1t is now engaged
in moving the entire plant to Torrent,
Kentucky, on the main line of the
Louisville < Nashville railroad, with
in three miles from its producing
properties in Wolfe County, to which
it is being connected by it's own pipe
line. The product of the wells will
reach the refinery by gravity.
To care for and market the finish
ed product the company is having
built under contract with the Alleg-
hany Steel Tank Car Co. of Warren,
Pa, thirty steel tank cars with cap
acity of $3.50 gallons each.
Meantime production from wells
already having a CONSTANT record
of production and many new wells
which are constantly being brought
