MILK. Pure, Clean, Healthy Milk. This 24th day of May, 1884. I gladly express my thanks through the Rensselaer Republican to the many good people of Rensselaer who have bought and tested milk that I make a business of selling and delivering to people's houses at 5e p;r. qt. This pleasant May morning I lacked about two quarts of having milk enough to supply all of my customers. I called at a house near by, where I learned they had good clean milk and sold it to their neighbors. I called and asked the lady it she had any milk to sell. Said she “yes, but not to a milk-man.”> I asked her why, and She said because the milk-men think no one bas a right to keep a cow or sell milk in town. J* ow to all good people, I say I wish to make an houest living and will not knowingly try to keep anyone eUe from doing the same in any respectable manner. If I sale for enough milk to make, a respectable living without trying to take customers from those who have cows and sell their milk, 1 will quit the business. > I did not move to town to get rid Jif-work; neither do I wish to undermine any person in any occupation in order to get a living. There is room aaj occupation for all honest da in this country and I wish to help those to get what milk they need and help those to sell milk who keep good clean milk to sell. Of course 1 wish to supply all who Heed but never have and never expect to ask anyone to quit u neighbor and patronize me, and thanks to those w«>o have seen fit to patronize me and hope they will agaia when they hate need to do so.
