MILK BOTTLE LOSS TOO HIGH!
Housewives are urged by the local dairyman to
use only warm or cold water to rinse out milk bottles
alter they have been emptied.
Losses from cracked bottles are running high at
both dairies. The principal causes of these cracks
has been determined to be the use of hot water in
rinsing bottles, too recently removed from a refrig-
€ rator. The cracks are generally very small and un-
noticeable but when the bottles have been washed
and refilled at the dairies they break when the force
of the capping machine is applied.
The dairies point out that the trade is short of
bottles and new ones are now sometimes hard to get
when needed. It is not necessary to use hot water in
washing the bottles because they all must be thor
oughly washed and disinfected with steam before
they are refilled bv the dairies.
NOTICE—Milk bottles are thoroughly washed and
disinfected by your dairy. Please do not use
