The Marketing of Creamery Butter.
Attention of the creameres is AGAR
called to some Of the essential factor,
necessary in the successful marketing
of creamery butter. These factors are
Uniformly high quality; regularity OF
shipments; packages properly branded
and labelled; neatness and appearance
of package; prompt attention to CORES
Ipondence.
creamery which expects to estab-
lish steady outlet and reputation for
itself on any wholesale or retail mar
ket must begin with quality. The deal
crs who handle the butter. for the
creamery must know and be able to de-
pend on the quality of butter in each
shipment In marketing butter which is
inferior in quality to the average make
the creamery should mark the packages
so as to distinguish it from the butter
of better quality. When such butter is
shipped 70 the dealers letter or tele-
gram should be sent, advising them
that part Of the shipment is of in
quality. Such information is required
by the dealer receiving the butter in
order that he may supply trade de.
manding that quality and also to pro-
tect the creamery's reputation.
! Regularity OF shipments is one Of the
| fundamental and most important fac
| tors in the successful marketing of but
ter The wholesale dealer or retailer
must depend on regular shipments
throughout the year If they are as
surcd of steady supply it enables
them to work up much better reg.
ular outlet for the butter than if only
occasional shipments are received Very
often wholesale dealers who have con-
nections with creamerics upon whom
they can depend for both quality and
regular shipments sell the butter be-
fofe it is received Such service is
great advantage and value to both the
in knowing about the amount Of butter
to expect and its quality is able to sell
or hold according to his Judgment of
the market situation,
Many ereameries do not realize the
Importance of the style and appearance
of the package in which the butter is
shipped. As a result they must pay the
penalty in the lower price received on
account OF poorly packed butter in
dirty containers. Butter should be |
packed in the style and size Of tubs or |
boxes according TO the demands of the
market to which it is shipped. New /
York City, for example, prefers butter
packed in ash tubs. Butter containers |
should be neat and clean SO that their
appearance will attract the buyer. Care
should be exercised in the matter of
addressing or marketing the packages.
Whenever stencils are not furnished by
the receiver tine name and the address
should be neatly written or printed in
small letters.
Dealers very often comment on the
lack OF attention by the creameries re
garding spondence, which FIRE

such matters.
These points are Of great Importance
and upon them depend 10 a consider

Standard Products and Containers.
without uniform standards for prod
ucts and containers for farm produce
the producers must pay the full'penal-
" in obtaining lower prices for their
products when they meet competition
on the markets with standardized prod
nets in standard containers. Experience
shows that standardized products sold
according TO grade find better and
quicker outlets. return higher prices
and can be handed at less expense than
