As a bank truly wanting to serve
you better, we often advertise our no-charge checking
and our excellent savings plans—paying the highest
bank interest in America.
We describe for you our modern, one-year-old
building with drive-up convenience. And we encourage you
to borrow here, and seek financial counsel here, and more.
Which is right and proper. But this advertisement
will be different.
This one will say, because we mean it and like to say
it: “Thanks so much.”
Occasionally, someone pays us a compliment. Like,
“What would we have done without your help.” And that
makes us feel good. Then, though, we’re quick to wonder
what we would do without all of you.
So, thanks for believing in us. Thanks for helping
us prosper as you and our other customers prosper. Thanks
for joining us in making Southern Lancaster County a
wonderful place to live.
And. yes, thanks for understanding when we show
our human-ness with a goof.
Speaking for our bank family, we’re glad we all got

Many Milk Buyers Still
Prefer Home Delivery
Nearly 40 percent of the people
still agree that home delivery of
milk is worth the extra price.
This, despite the fact that home
delivery of milk has been
declining in recent years, and
more and more people are buying
their milk in supermarkets and
other stores
This is one of the facts that has
been learned from a recent study
of consumer attitudes toward
dairy products and the dairy
industry conducted by the United

Dairy Industry Association
(UDIA). A statistically selected
nationwide sample of 3,500 people
of both sexes, 13 years of age and
older, were asked to react to
some 500 statements about dairy
products and the dairy industry
on a 6-point scale ranging from
definite agreement to definite
disagreement with each
statement, Responses to the
statement: “Home delivery of
milk is worth the extra price”
were as follows: Definitely agree
18.5 percent; Moderately agree
9.0; Slightly agree 11.5; Slightly
disagree 10 8; Moderately
disagree 10.9; Definitely disagree
37.6 percent.
“On the basis of these results,”
says Dr. Jerry Quackenbush,
Director of UDIA’s Marketing
and Economic Research
Division,” we have to conclude
that home delivery of milk may
not be as dead an issue as many
people believe, even though three
out of five persons seem to feel in
varying degrees that home
delivery is not worth the extra
cost.”
There was no significant dif
ference between the attitudes of
males and females to home
delivery. There were, however,
significant differences by age
group. As might be expected,
older people over 55 were most
favorable to home delivery and
those m the 25-34 age group were
the least favorable.
There also were significant
regional differences in response,
with highest agreement m the
East South Central and Mountain
States, and lowest agreement in
East North Central, Pacific and
New England States.
By income groups, those with
the lowest incomes (below $%OOO
per year) show the highest
agreement that home delivery is
worth the extra price, whereas
the lowest agreement occurs with
those earning $15,000 and over
This was the first of a yearly
senes of studies to identify trends
in consumer attitudes toward
dairy products and the dairy
industry sponsored by UDIA on
behalf-of the dairy industry and
the UDIA family consisting of the
American Dairy Association,
National Dairy Council and Dairy
Research Inc. The first round of
the study was conducted in early
1972, and the second round is now
underway.
