The Norfolk Press wants to know why it is that the big creameries are paying more for butter fat at O’Neill than they are at Norfolk, when the distance and freight rates are less from Norfolk to Omaha and Sioux City than from O’Neill. The Press notes a difference of at least two cents. In reality it is from three to four cents and it is a fact that Nor folk producers could ship to O’Neill, pay the transportation rate themselves » and still get more money for their product than by selling locally or shipping direct to Omaha or Sioux City, even though the same cream might be hauled back through their town. The reason is that O’Neill is located on the old site of the Garden of Eden and has a thriving creamery and as a result there is competition for the cream. Cream buyers pay more I Never before was the line of dress goods as extensive as it is this ES spring. The colors are gorgeous but pretty.
