CREAM PRODUCTION
DROI'I'INtt OFF
The selling of tobacco will not
continue the year around but a
continuous source of income suc'i
as would be afforded by the re
gular delivery of cream on tin.
cream route will aid many a
family to meet a large pan of
the household bills each week in
the year with a cream check. To
keep the cream route going will
require the cooperation and the
support of a large number of
people. If the volume of cream
delivered on the route becomes
too small it will be out of the
question to ask that the route lv
continued. Lett everyone stand
by and continue to di liver crear.i
and keep this route going. It will
probably pay more in the future
than now. Its success depend?
upon the support of a large num
ber of people. The cream monsy
will come in good after the to
bacco markets close.
The man who complains about
the high prices on wheat, corn,
hay, lard, butter and eggs it* not
much of a farmer. .?$-
