Long before the City of Bir-
mingham made its require
ments governing sanitation AMI
quality of milk to be sold in
the city, W. B. Baker & Sons
were conducting this dairy
upon the most modern methods,
maintaining standard of sani-
tation still without superior,
marketing a quality of milk un-
matched for its delightful fla
vor and palatability, its digesti-
bility and purity.
We were the first to begin
building up high grade herd,
using only pure bred sires, and
testing our cows regularly in
accordance with federal advice
for healthfulness. Today there
is not the equal of this herd in
the county. There is no more
modern dairy plant. There is
not maintained higher degree
of sanitation and efficiency.
There is no more prompt and
satisfying delivery service.

Pueblo Bonito was an aboriginal
apartment house of 800 rooms. four
stories high, encircled by single
outer wall. Viewed from the towering
north cliff the ancient village is semi
circular. with the greater portion OF
its dwellings. or suites. grouped along
the curved side.
Courts Divide Village.
- long row of cne-story houses
connects the extreme wings of the
semi-circle. From the middle of the
straight row a cluster of ceremonial
chambers extended to meet the curved
ssction. thus dividing the village. and
providing for each half an open court.
In these courts sacred dances and re-
ligiouS ceremonies were performed.
Some ancient walls still stand more
than thirty feet high. Its 400 ground
floor rooms occupy an area almost
equal to that of the United States
