PURE milk AND
CREAM WHEN WANTED

About the biggest bit of satisfac-
ton housewife may have is to
know that the supply of milk brought
to her door is the right kind of milk
pure, clean and of proper butter
fat content.
The Meadow Maid dairy of Angus
ia provides milk of which the house.
wife may be proud. 1t is obtained
only from tuberculin tested cows and
is therefore absolutely pure. 1t is
handled under the most sanitary
methods and it is rigidly inspected.
Forrest A. Barbour, owner of the
Meadow Maid dairy, was formerly
State dairy inspector and so, when
he went into business for himself, he
determined that the standards he had
set for others would be his standards
except that he decided he would be
more rigid in his own requirements
than he had ever been for others.
Gratifying success has met his eff
forts. The butter fat content of the
milk is always higher than the law
requires. The bacteria count IS
always far below what the law
demands. Cream from the Meadow
Maid dairy has that delightful thick
ness and richness housewives so
much desire, especially for whipping
purposes.
In addition to all this, Mr.. Barbour
has provided for his customers a
break O. day" delivery, so that the
milk is always on the step of the
home long before breakfast.

that a modern baker must get his

1t is serious matter when a whole

In all these particulars the visitors
who attended the open house" of
Colburn's bakery, learned that this
establishment is strictly modern In
its every effort. Carleton D. Colburn
who opened the bakery on Sept, 8,
1922, determined that he would give
Gardiner just as good a place as
modern equipment and enterprise
could afford. In this he has succeed
