The volume of business of the two companies now consolidated runs to nearly 1150,000 a month, and It Is ex pected this year to reach the J2.000.000 mark. It Is said the two concerns han dle 50 per cent of all the milk, cream, butter and cheese business of Portland. The new corporation will be prepared to handle the Increased production of all dairies in the three Northwest states, using the surplus of the dally consumption of milk and cream In the manufacture of butter and cheese.
