of coal by taking It from the ground.
Manufacturers add to the value Of raw
materials by shaping them into mar

that is satisfactorily situated, and that

advantage. because the relationship is
investigational and has not reduced
the cost Of manufacture below that
possible in many other creameries.
The products are always sold on their
merits. and the name Of the depart
