(Garrett county), Md., south of
Somerset county.
When asked where the Benders
would be exhibiting next. Bender
smiled modestly and said “This is
it!” Then, correcting himself, he
stated, “No, we’ll be going to the
Garrett County Fair. We’ve got an
animal at home, bigger framed,
real dairy, just a great heifer, that
we didn’t bring today. We’ll be
taking her there.”
After posing with his family for
photographers wanting numerous
shots of this Premier
Breeder/Exhibitor, Bender
clapped his hands together,
saying, “Time to go milk some
cows.”
Those animals chosen top of
their respective classes by Judge
Dr. Lee Maieski are given below:
Hi-Protein Breeders purchase
BY ROBIN PHILLIPS

SHARTLESVILLE - With one
of the few, perhaps even the only
jetshake machine in Pennsylvania,
Carolyn Hollenbach, R 1 Bemville,
is very optimistic about it’s
promoting potential.
“It’s a novel way to market
milk,” she said enthusiastically.
“If you have to have a gimmick (to
sell milk), then I don’t care,” she
added.
On the executive committee of
the newly formed Hi»Protein
Breeders organization, Hollenback
volunteered to chair a sub
committee to explore the
possibility of purchasing a jet
shake machine. The machine was
introduced to the group at a picnic
meeting last month when one was
displayed by guest speaker Betsy
Booth, of the Granite State Dairy
Promoters group from Concord,
NH. Still relatively new in the
marketing frontier, the jetshake
machine combines milk, a small
amount of flavorings and air into a
delicious, ice cold drink similar to
a milkshake.
The Hi-Protein Breeders are a
group of dairymen from each of
the major breeds of dairy cattle
who formed together to promote
milk and encourage breeders to
produce a higher quality milk.
Their efforts are also aimed at
raising the minimum standards of
milk to the consumer.

It was after their last meeting
that a group of Guernsey breeders
got together and discussed the
possibility of loaning the Hi-
Protein organization the money to
buy the machine. It was from the
cooperation of the Berks County
Guernsey Breeders, a club which
also includes the Guernsey
breeders from Schuylkill,
Lebanon, Chester and Mon
tgomery Counties, that the Hi-
Protein Breeders were able to
purchase the machine.
With a loan of $770 plus ad
ditional money for initial operating
expenses, Hollenbach set out to
buy the machine. Available from
the Jet Spray Corporation, 825
University Ave., P.O. Box 82S0,
Norwood, Mass., the machine
costs $770 only to organizations
that will use it to promote milk. It
cannot be sold to private in
dividuals and lists for over $1,220 to
any other organize ton. Martin
Ford, phone: 617-867-6526, is the
salesman to contact for purchase
of the machine. Cups, designed for
milk promotion, were ordered
from the Granite State Dairy
Promoters, Concord, NH.
With many plans on how their
new machine can be utilized,
Hollenbach looks forward to its
•debut at the Kutztown Fair, Aug.
15-18. The Hi-Protein Breeders
have reserved space and will sell
the drink in flavors of chocolate,
vanilla and maple and will attempt

to oust soda as the main beverage
in the dairy barns and buildings.
“I’d really like to appeal to the
teenagers,” Hollenbach said.
Following the Kutztown Fair, the
machine will be utilized at the
Leesport Auction for the annual
Grange Sale. “I thought we could
get more exposure there,”
Hollenbach said.
Hollenbach is currently taking
reservations from any groups or
individuals who would like to loan
the machine for their gathering or
banquet. A nominal fee of |lO or
ten percent will be charged
depending on the use of the
machine and the organization
renting it. Anyone interested in
promoting milk with the Jetshake
machine is encouraged to call
Hollenbach, R 1 Bemville at 215-
488-1789.
Hollenbach would like to see the
machine in use at all the dairy
banquets and meetings and is
working to have it used at the local
fairs. Although questioned as to its
competition with milkshakes,
Hollenbach answered that it should
not even be questioned. Milk is still
being sold and,, the smaller
machine can be utilized at many
functions and stands where a
larger milkshake and 'ice- cream
setup cannot be used.
And, she adds, it can be used to
sell milk right along side of
milkshakes. When the consumer
