The milk passes over the coils and cold water passes through them. The milk* is cooled from 98 degrees to 55 degrees as fast as it is milked. The milk .looses all the animal heat before being bottled and will remain sweet much longer. Due to the rapid increase in business since installing the cooler I believe it is a great help to my customers. I have also built a large cooler holding 1200 pounds of ice for storing our butter and other dairy products. This insures you receiving them in the best of shape. All the leading dealers in town handle our butter! When buy ing, ask them for it. SANITARY DAIRY PHONE 84. F. W. LANCASTER, Owner. Roads That Are Good The road you tread daily have many bumps.
