ARVADA LIKELY TO
SECURE SWIMMING STATION

The melting Of dairymen of Arvada

Saturday afternoon resulted in much
good toward the locating of a cream
and milk station of the Consolidated
Dairymen's Mfg. Co., at this point.
The dairymen of this district seem
to favor selling their whole milk,
which this company is not at present
prepared to handle without LOTS,
and it. is this question they are now
trying to solve before announcing
their intention Of opening a station
here.
In conversation with one Of the
Officials of the company yesterday
he informed US that station would
be opened here just as soon rs the
problem could be solved as to the dis
position Of the by-product. This
company is strictly in the butter
business and can not use the skim
milk. The company is very desir.
Gus of entering this field and will no
doubt find a way to dispose Of the
hs-rrcduct.
They will announce their decision
in the matter in week or ten days.
