Our record of continued increase of businteds proves this out. WE KNOWâ€" That with the beginning of a new season, distant Creameries will canvass roost of you Vfith unreas- onable promises, which usually do not last. That it is an established &ct, farmers who sell their cream to outside Creameries help ta pile up unnecessary expense, and thereby keeping* dciwn the net returns for their products. That no farmer can make a cent a pound botfer- fat easier than by delivering his cream to the Creamery. WHY LOOK FOR AN OUTSIDE MARKET WHEN WE CAN GIVE YOU A BETTER MARKET AT HOME â- Â« , I DO YOU KNOW That cream cans are costly and creating heavy expense to the industry yeariy, and now, be- cause of the war, metals are required for odier purposes, so we ask you to help save our Cans, and if you have more than vou actually require for cream, kindly set them aside and our tiruck will jAtk them op. We can have rusty cans re-tinned to lo<^ like new. The Creamery will be open each Wednesflay and Saturday night during the summer months.
