The company has offices in New York City- and Pittsburgh and the Cloverleaf Brand is served in a number of the fashionable hotels in New York City. At the present time one of the largest chain retail grocery concerns in the country purchases nearly all of the first grade butter manufactured by the several creamery plants of the company. _
