E. DUNCAN, Auctioneer. iWE KNOW That since operating Flesherton Creamery, we have always made an effort to Pay HIGHEST MARKET prices for your piroducts, plus the best of SERVICES, and a SQUARE deal throughout. Our record of continued increase of business proves this out. WE KNOWâ€" That with the beginning of a new season, distant Creameries will canvass most of you with unreas- onable promises, which usually do not last. That it is an established fact, farmers who sell their cream to outside Creameries help to pile up unnecessary expense, and thereby keeping down the net returns for their products. That no farmer can make a cent a pound butter- fat easier Uian by delivering his cream to the Creamery. WHY LOOK FOR AN OUTSIDE MARKET WHEN WE CAN GIVE YOU A BETTER MARKET AT HOME ! DO YOU KNOW That cream cans are costly and creating heavy expense to the industry yearly, and now, be- cause of the war, metals are required for other purposes, so we ask you to hdp save our dans, and if you have more than vou actulally require for cream, kindly set them aside and our truck will I^ick them up. We can have rusty cans re-tinned to look like new. Starting April 27th, 1940, the Creamery will be open Saturday night for testing.
