LOCATING NEW
MARKETS FOR MILK
Some People Are Losing Through Con-
nection With Unreliable
Dealers,

During the past spring and summer
months several of the cooperative fac
tories in their eagerness to locate ad
ditional markets for whole milk made
connections with small unreliable
Dealers who were not financially re-
sponsible. The result has been that
these factories have lost money through
the connections made. In view of this
it behooves every creamery manager
who is seeking new outlets for milk or
other dairy products to ascertain as
nearly as possible the financial stand
ing of the dealers with whom they ex-
pect to do business. In addition it
should be agreed that payments by the
dealers for products received should be
made at least twice month. Extended
credit is the cause of many disputes
and losses between the creamery and
dealer.
New York City is the largest market
In the world for direct consumption of
food products. A permit to ship milk
and cream into that market is valua
BILE asset to any creamery which is so
located that it can conveniently ship
these products into that market. More
Vermont creameries should give this
matter more serious consideration for
satisfactory connections can be made
with reliable dealers in that market
who are ready to purchase regular
quantities of milk, sweet and sour
cream, butter and cheese. One factory
has almost completed the necessary
work required by the New York City
department of health to receive per
NIT to ship milk and cream. Undoubt-
eddy this factory will be ready to com
mence shipments before the end Of the
month. Arrangements are now being
considered by the railroads to deliver
milk and cream shipped from Vermont
at more central point in this city.
The shipments which are now being
delivered at l34th street will probably,
under the new arrangements, be deliv-
cred at the Goth street station. This
change in delivery point will enable |
the creameries to do business with the |
dealers in the downtown district.
