CREAM PRODUCERS Please Read and Consider

At this time of the year when farmers and cream producers are busy figuring up the profits, if any, from their farms and herds covering the closing year, and looking forward, rather anxiously toward the new year considering where they may make greater profits, think of this,—it relates to cream,—— Tom, Dick and Harry, likewise Peter, Paul and John, are selling their cream each to a different creamery concern. More than 25 trucks are running the roads ragged around Ligonier gathering cream. This cream goes to a dozen different creameries; some is delivered directly to ~ the creamery, some is shipped by rail to a distant creamery, most of it is picked up by the route man. The price paid is amout the same. - : If all this cream were delivered to the Ligonier * Creamery, ‘it would pay from 5 to 10 cents more per pound of fat than any creamery operating in this territory could pay, or is paying now. Why ? ' Because our volume would be so increased thereby, and our overhead expense so decreased thereby that a ‘ - saving would result which would be added -to every pa- ~ tron’s cream check. Why can the Constantine (Mich.) Creamery pay from ~ 8 to 10 cents over the average price paid around here ~ for cream? Because all the cream from the country ~around that point is sold to the home creamery. There are no more cows in the Constantine territory per square mile than there are around Ligonier, but the cream producers there are 100% for their home creamery. Therefore, if you live near Ligonier, patronize the ~ Ligonier Creamery ; if you live near Albion patronize the . Albion creamery if you live near New Paris patronize the - New Paris Creamery if near Middlebury patronize the Middlebury creamery and-so on but patronize your home creamery and it wholeheartedly. There is enough cream produced within a radius of ~ ten miles of Ligonier which if handled by the Ligonier ~ Creamery would raise the level of cream prices to the Constantine level. : It is the fault of the cream producer and not the home creamery that he is not getting the high price for cream now. He is paying for the maintenance of those 25 trucks He is paying for the maintenance of the dozens of cream stations scattered over this territory. He is paying the salaries of scores of cream station operators and field men employed by the big creamery concerns which operate in and around Ligonier. S : . Don’t take our word for it, but give the matter a tryout during 1928. You can’t lose, and you will be convineced that we have spoke truly. = . . : ° ® g The Ligonier Creamery
