before this fact proves that the cream shippers in our dis trict appreciate the improvements we have made new conveniences the improvement we recently added to our creamery service namely the cold storage locker facilities and the differential of two cents per pound of butter fat on cream delivered to the creamery are great conveniences and at the same time they are very profitable to our patrons delivery service profitable the rental we charge for the meat lockers is only a mere frac tion compared to the savings you derive from them our patrons who ship their cream by truck can also take advantage of the locker service since we can have our truck deliver their meat the increase of two cents per pound of butter fat which we pay for delivered cream nets our patrons from twenty to sixty cents extra per can make the most of your herd since we have increased our churning capacity and since there is an excellent demand for our butter we are now in position to handle more cream you
