EDITOR’S NOTE: KMMC
- The' Keystone Milk
Marketing Council, Inc.,
submitted the following
report on its activities
during the month of August.
The organization is
headquartered at 2301 North
Cameron Street,
Harrisburg, and is composed
of prominent Penn
sylvanians who are closely
connected to the Com
monwealth’s dairy industry.
HARRISBURG
Dairymen all over the
United States are attending
local fairs, district Black
and White shows, and some
even showing cattle at the
well known Pennsylvania All
American at Harrisburg.
Other dairymen are con
signing cattle to sales,
hoping to get top dollar for
their animals. All of this
involves promotion - telling
people about what they have
for sale. These sales are, in
most cases, only a small
percentage of their total
milk sales, but usually more
effort and involvement goes
into the cattle sales than the
more lucrative milk sales.
We at Keystone and your
local dairy princess com
mittee offer you an op
portunity to become in
volved in milk promotion.

sold on promotion
what you can do to help start
merchandising more fluid
milk and therefore earn
more income from your milk
sales.
We know we offer
probably the best food
bargain any consumer can
buy, but unfortunately for us
everyone is after the con
sumer’s dollar and you must
be constantly in front of the
consumer for a propor
tionate share of that dollar.
August brought a con
tinuation of Keystone Milk
Marketing Council ac
tivities. The Council in
cooperation with the Penn
sylvania Department of
Agriculture, had an exhibit
at Ag Progress Days near
State College. At the exhibit,
the Pennsylvania dairy
princess and several county
princesses distributed milk
samples and milk leaflets to
the thousands of people on
hand for the annual
educational event.
Peggy Staub, Penn
sylvania dairy princess,
completed her last month of
honorary employment with
the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture for milk
promotional activities
across the state.
During the month of
August, Peggy had seven

promotions, participated in
two county fairs, spoke to a
service club, and par

Giving this special op
portunity to promote milk,
Peggy has been privileged to
travel across the Com
monwelath, communicating
with thousands of consumers
about the goodness of milk.
