CREAMERY
AND MARKET LETTER
Notes and Comments on July Butter
Scoring-vermont Fair
Dates.


sue Of the News Letter creamery man
ayers were urged to be more cautious
when opening new accounts with deal
ers in regard to their integrity and p
nancial standing. Reference to this
matter is brought up again because
number Of creamcries have just added
few more doubtful accounts on their
ledgers. It is known that one butter
dealer in southern New England mas
outstanding accounts with four cream
cries amounting to approximately 81
500, and a milk dealer has outstanding
accounts amounting to over 5000.
These plants will be fortunate IN clos
ing up these accounts without loss,
and 1t should serve as warning 70
other plants. Dealers who cannot fnr-
nish unquestionab references should
be guarded against, andrreamery man
ayers should require first-hand lnfor-
nation from the banks or commercial
agencies representing the dealers before
new accounts are opened.
