Pacific Condensing Plant—Finest in the West

A recent photograph of the Pacific Milk factory at Delair, 1 mile south of Abbotsford.

F.V.M.P.A. Members— The milk you deliver to your

plant not only supplies communities in every part of British Columbia,
in practically every province in the Dominion of Canada, but is shipped to
many distant parts of the world.

Your rich Fraser Valley milk is considered good enough for the world’s
finest navy, is delivered under contract to the British Admiralty. Pacific
condensed milk is well known in China, Japan, Malay States, Gibraltar, and
the remote ports of the old world “East of Suez.”

And some F.Y. milk probably finds customers on the great sheep stations
of far-away Australia. Some Solomon Island potentate relishes it for his
morning cereal, or tropical equivalent for that dish, Again, it may feed the
baby of some gaucho mother on the South American pampas, or take a
place in the recipes of a Beunos Airean chef, Or our own kith and kin
in England, Ireland, or Scotland may prefer British Columbia's best milk
and be/numberéd among the steadily-increasing Pacific Milk customers ia
Great Britain. For Pacific Milk knows no boundaries of climate, race, lan-
guage or distance—it is now one of the universally-used -food products,
and it is made right here near this little town of Abbotsford.

Dairymen, visit your evaporating factory before returning to. your homes.
It is the largest and most modern evaporating plant in British Columbia.
With the new equipment, recently installed, your plant is enabled to treat
over three million pounds of fluid milk every month—“can” 1,000 cases
of evaporated milk every day, This is “some” production.

Part of the world-renowned Nestle’s Milk is also made at the Delair plant,
If you did not go out with one of Ernie Mann's sightseeing parties this

morning, notify any Abbotsford committeeman, and a car will be provided.

for your conveyance. Mr. Chevalley cordially welcdmes any member of
the Association and will be on hand to show visitors over the plant.

Fluid Milk Sales Increased
