Plattsmouth's price today is 25c while in Lincoln dealers are paying but 20c. Omaha pays 20 and 21 unless you happen to ship from a place where there is a local cream ery to stimulate the market and force prices up. The moral is : Sell to your local creamery, for the more cream it is able to buy, the bet ter price it can pay.
