average prices of other creameries in
the same territory, and producers

Merchandizing-No Dumping
1t has required much effort and
considerable capital to build up the
Blue Valley Marketing System, and It
requires constant effort and skill to
lns intain it,
1t has required the development of
system of Standardization, of uni
form manufacture and sales methods,
of advertising and of many other fac
tors that enter into such pioneer work.
Last but not least, it has required
the development of staff of highly
skilled men at all Blue Valley cream
cries, men of high ideals and of ut
most loyalty to the dairy industry
and the cream producers as well as
to Blue Valley.
Only in that way has it been pos
sible to perfect a system of butter
marketing, which is merchandising in
stead of dumping, which feeds each
sales center exactly the amount of
Blue Valley butter that can be con-
sumed and no more and which
. through keeping quality, uniformity,
/ good service and we'll directed adver-
Using constantly increases consump-
ton of Blue Valley butter.
There are no secrets about our
marketing system, and we believe
dairying would be more profitable to
all farmers, if all creameries would
adopt the same businesslike system
as far as their means and talents
would permit.
