WHY MILK REMAINS SWEET
I have just installed a new Reid Milk Cooler and Areator. 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.
