] Columbus is city Of 237,031 pop

sumo about 27,0O0,OOO quarts Of
milk per annum. This milk, Is sup
piled by over 1000 producers, from
1 5 different count es, and is trans

| The Investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 800,
600 quarts Of milk and cream III
1920, or, approximately, 65 per ceal
]; or the total quant ty consumed. The
/; companies ranged in size from yer,

Handling Costs.
| From the point of view of the
farmer and the consumer, the inn
| portant quest on is What does it
cost to handle the milk from the
arm to The consumer? The cost o.
IA" milk was between 63 per cent
and rs per cent of %he total cost oil

During the period under study the
retail price Of Grade A milk IN CO.
lnmou as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from i 4 cents to
14.5 cents per quart, though during
1920 the two small dealers sold their
milk, which CONES from tubercul n.
tested cows, for 5 cents per quart.
At the same time the wholesale pr c.,
of milk ranged from 12 cents to
IL 1-2 cents.
If all the liquid milk products are
combined and an average price COM
puted, it is found that during 1919
the average price ranged from 1875
cents to 1873 cents, and during the
first six months of 1920 from 10
cents to 1873 cents. 1t is thus APP
parent that the six dealers did not
make large margin of profit and
that the costs of some of them were
higher than the price paid by the
consumer. In fact, the department
finds that one Of the six companies
