RICHER MILK...

Vote 332 X YES
for a FAIR MILK LAW
The MILK PRODUCTION AND MARKETING ACT on your
November ballot will give the people of Oregon a FAIR milk
law— fair to consumers and producers alike. It will do away with
state enforced milk prices, by which the present unjustified
middleman’s margin is protected by law’. It will permit the lower
pricing of cash-and-carry milk, relieving store customers from
paying the higher costs of home delivery whether they use it
or not. It will protect fair farm prices.
