As it now looks, there will be no interference with its mar- ket, as far as substitute- are concerned, Would it not, therefore, be wise on the part of the pro- ducer, to step up the production by adding to the dairy herd, and a little extra feeding and care. Good business on the part of the producer, and appreciated hy the Canadian consumer. Let us again stress the fact, that by stepping up the production, yow are helping to keep the mar- ket for butter only â€" not for substitutes. As usual â€" Highest Possible Price and Best Pos- sible Service â€" continues to be our motto.
