Says!
That's a Joke, Son!"
One of the big unanswered post-war
questions is the reason for such a ter
rific demand for dairy products in all
their forms ... we are happy to serve
our old customers and many new ones
but we must have more milk and it
must come from the fine farms in the
Bluffton area The Page Dairy Co.
certainly can use all of the milk its
present patron-producers can sh|p
and of course we will welcome new pro
ducers to the constantly-growing Page
