man in toronto had just received his charter for a company the day before mr abbotts un heralded announcement the cost was s000 but he will be unable to do one days work for his new company until some

un fortunate that the charges imposedon mon day morning were not announced in ad vance but through circumstances beyond our control we were unable to obtain the prices from the milk board until late on saturday with the upward swing in price to the consumer comes an increase in the cost of whole milk from the farmer amounting to 1 vz cents per quart add to this the re cent increases in cost of bottles bottle caps and everything else pertaining to milk and its delivery and the addition half cent is more than consumed we trust that our customers will bear with us during these high prices with the hope that everything will level off before long
