Dairymen west of Blackiston's
Cross Roads and Dairymen in the
vicinity of Millington are elated over
the prospect of a modern cooling sta
ton in MillingtOn, Md, in the near
future. The Breyer Ice Cream Com
pany of Philadelphia has had repre-
Sentatives in Alillington during the
past week inspecting sites with a view
to building the largest cooling station
on the Maryland-Delaware Peninsula.
For several years the company has
operated a small plant in the south
ern end of the town, but due to stead
lly increasing business larger and
more modern quarters have become
necessary. Dairymen of Millington
last year shipped 4,389,50O pounds of
milk to Philadelphia distributing
points and it is stated that if the
Philadelphia concern erects a cooling
station in MillingtOn the bulk of these
shipments will be sold direct to this
firm, reducing cost of shipment to
farmers and bringing them increas-
ed revenues.
