FOOD LESSON NO. 1
Marvellous Quality of Milk
Used in GOOD LUCK

On the famous Jelke dairy farm
near Dundee, ILL.,, in the beautiful
Fox River Valley - the most
famed dairy district in the world
is a herd of pure bred, pedi-
greed Holstein cows.
Holstein cows are the best mix

and these cows are aristocrats
of their kind.
Scientific methods of feeding,
modern dairy equipment and all
the arts of the modern milk-pro-
ducer unite to make their milk Of
perfect quality.
