mittees were so favorable that a gen

Butter Shipments.
Creamery managers should pay more
attention to the matters regarding the
packing. wrapping, weighing and mark
ing of their butter. Appearance counts
for a great deal in the eyes of the re-
ceiver and consumer. Top prices cannot |
be expected by creameries which are |
slack and careless in preparing their |
butter shipments. Lack of tub liners, |
poorly packed tubs, carelessness in /
prints, not marking the t
weights of the net contents and other
points which give the individual con
tainer and the shipment a careless APP
pearance detract from the returns from
such shipments and hinder the cream
Try from building up high class trade
which trade in addition to quality de- 4
hands a neat, clean and we'll appearing
package. During the extremely hot
weather butter should be thoroughly II
.hilled before shipping.
