Increase Shown
In Maine Registry
Milk Dealers Each
Year Since 1909

That tho sales of cream and milk
from wagons and stores has been in
creasing year by year as the popula-
ton of the cities has grown, with an
occ2 'onal decrease in number of
sales at farmhouses, is shown by the
figures just compiled by State Dairy
Inspector Forrest A. Barbour.
Mr.. Barbour reports tlat between
April l, 1923, and Feb. Is, 1924, to-
tai Of 4541 milk and cream dealers
in the State registered with the State
dairy division. OF these there were
2201 licenses issued to vehicles, 1173
issued to stores and 1855 issued to
depots or farmhouses where milk and
cream is sold. This is an increase
of 1873 licensed dealers over the per-
iod from April l, 1922, to April /,
1923.
From early reports which Mr.. Bar
bour has collected, it is noted that in
1909 when tho registration law went
into effect there were 2062 licenses
issued. In 1913. the number had in
creased to 2647 divided as follows:
Wagons, 1916; stores, $50: depots,
521. In 1916 there were 1903 licenses
issued to wagons, S97 issued to
stores, and 1853 issued to depots-a
total of 1868. The 1922 report. show
ed a gain in the number of licenses
issued to wagons and stores, and q
decrease in the number issued to de-
pots. the registrations for that year
being: Wagons, 1882; stores, 1899;
depots. 1927: total. 1853. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
the 81 fee for registration went into
effect July 10, 1921. Registra ton
previous to that date was without
cost to the applicants.
Year by year since 1913 the re-
ports show n gain in the number of
licenses issued for wagons and
stores, while there has been more
variation in the licenses issued for
milk depotS. In 1919 and 1920 there
were more licenses granted to nils;
depots than in 1922 and 1923.
