Oil 'hlker-CiOixl Just os il comes from tlio Cow Natural Ml ill C,COn A Business with an Ideal The Production of Clean Milk of Exceptional Purity HIGH-GKA1JK milk was practically unknown until the Walker-Gordon Company began in li93 the production of a safe milk for infant feed in";. This business, as it grew, logically led to the production of milk of equal quality' and purity for table use. Hvery possible means are taken at the Walker Gordon Farms (onl one hour from Philadelphia) to insure uniform goodness and purity of product. The cows are washed and re-washed to free them from dust and dirt. The barn floors are scrubbed, the milker washes his hands, not once but before caxh cow is milked. The milk is cooled, sealed in sterile bottles immediately after it leaves the cow. By arrangements with the Walker-Gordon Lab oratory Company we deliver Walker-Gordon Milk to you regularly.
