Two half-gallon bags of milk drop off the conveyor belt into a larger outer bag em
bossed with a log. THe outer bag is then automatically sealed and John stacks the one
gallon package on a rack to be wheeled into the walk-in refrigerator.

School tours are another way the
Hesses promote good customer
relations and show school children
and their parents how milk is
really made.
Undertaking all the milk
production and marketing func
tions, from cow to consumer, has
made Larry and John real ad
vocates of milk promotion and
advertising. Larry campaigned
aggressively to get the milk
promotion referendum passed in
Pennsylvania two years ago, only
to have it defeated. He sees the 15
cents deduction for promotiomand
the opportunity for a national
referendum in September of next
year as the brightest spot of the
new dairy legislation and hopes
other dairymen will support it.
