MILK FOR NEW YORK CITY

The Sheffield Farms Co., of New
York, which recently purchased and
has assumed charge of the P. b..
Sharpless Co. milk plant in this
town. contemplates extensive i'm
provements and remodeling, which
will make the Rising Sun establish
msnt one of the most up-to-date In
the country, transforming 1t from a
condensing plant to a bottling estab-
lishment, shipping the, milk direct
to New York daily.
The Sheffield Farms Co. handle
probably a larger amount Of milk
daily than any other firm in the
country. Their headquarters are in
New York, to which city is shipped
daily from their more than three
score plants 100000 quarts of
milk. This is equal to the entire
daily milk consumption of the city
of Philadelphia, and gives some idea
of the amount of milk handled by
this firm.
The ,P. E. Sharpless Co, estab-
lished a business here about 1S
years ago, building and equipping
one Of the most complete condensing
plants to be found, and it was due
to this firm that our locality has
grown to be one OF the finest dairy
sections in the country, with large
herds of high grade cows to be seen
on the farms throughout this
neighborhOod.

cation Coroner Bunting came to the
