CREAMERIES MUST GET
TOGETHER IN STATE
By Hymen M. Cohen
For several year, there has been
more or lest open warfare waged be
tween Orcifon creamery men, entail
Ing severe losses not only to the mak
ers of butter tin in .elves, but irnpov
ishing the dairy industry.
Charger, and eountef charges have
been made by both the t ity and the
country creameries as to the reason
for this warfarr, but M'cmingly there
is a misunderstanding all around
Neither the creameries nor the
dairy industries of Oregon can pros
per under prevailing conditions. It
Is time for a show down. Both sides
of the controvertarv should get to
gether and see exactly what is wrong
with the situation This cannot be
done by the country reamer men
calling the city creamery men names
while the latter are inclined to doubt
the sincerity of the former.
There is place in thr dairy industry
for both the city and country cream
ery and the fight that has been waged
by the two inferrts I ,h been costly
not only to both sides, but to that
innocent bystander the producer.
Several efforts have been made to
get the country creameries together
for the purpose of establishlas' a mar
ket for their product hut tbetc have
not proven stfcsful. There is a
reason for this. First of all the coun
try creameries must take a certain
standard and Stick to it Thm
again they rnut establish brands
which the general public can become
acquainted with. Thrn again they
must always have a supply of butter
for this trade.
Heretofore much of the troubles
of the country creamery men have
been due to the fact that consumer
would purchase a certain brand of
their hotter one time, but Ihe next
time they tried to purchase they found
none in the market In other words
the country creamery has been in
clined to ship only its surplus product
to tbl Portland market and when
there was no sum!!-, from the home
trade, none wat chipped there.
fnen a tram tm- T i- itv creamrr-es

product by newspaper advertising.
which went direct to ihe consumer.
Two of the leading country creamer

found no occasion to sav they can

The Advantage of
Battery Service
Service stations of all kinds arc
springing up thruughout the country
to help the motorist and the wise
car owner is the one who takes ad
vantage of all the service that is of
fered. This is particularly true of
hattery service.
It is mou important in the care of
the battery tnat the car owner should
know exactly in what condition the
battery is, whether it is half charged,
fully charged, or over charged. Fre
quent and accurate hydrometer tea's
are the only way in which this can lc
avoided and the life of the battery
Irnifthened by keeping it fully charg
ed. For this reason then, if for no other,
he car owner should frequently visit
the battery service station in order
that the experts can test his battery.
This however, is but one of the
advantages that comes from keeping
n touch with service station.
As he comes to know them each
separate battery becomes an individ
lal problem to the service man. He
;cmes to know under what conditions
they are being used and are going
to lc used.
Having tested a battery for a whole
season or for a whole year he is in
a position at the end of that time, to
tate whether repairs or renewals are
necessary to prolong the life of the
battery.
If the car is to be stored in the win
ter, he will store ttfe battery. If the
machine is to be run through the win
ter, then he can give the motorist
uc!i advice as to keep it in the best
mndition during this trying season.
Ii the battery needs cr-arging, he is
ible to do this job all the better be
rause he know exactly how the bat
ery has been used.
N't it the least important function of
he service station, and especially the
Willard Service Station, is to educate
the car ovner-in the care or the bat
tery. The achantages of this are
obvious.
As the local Willard service man
very aptly put it, "People don't wait
until they're dead before they go to
i doctor and there is no reason why
thev should wait until their battery
,is dead before they take it to a bat
tery doctor."
Manager Preston will gladly ex
plain the advantages of dealing with
the Wilbrd station at 118 West Sec
ond Street. (adv.)
