FARMERS TRADE 1
BUTTERFOROLEO
Give Grocers One Pound in
Exchange For Two at
Chambersburg
Chambers!burg, Pa., May 23.
Franklin county farmers come to
town and buy butter and those who
prefer it buy oleomargarine. Many
farmers buy their butter, selling their
milk to the creameries. It is not
unusual to find farmers who do
churn bringing their butter to the
grocers and taking home oleo at two
pounds of the latter for one of the
former. The creameries have motor
trucks covering routes all net-work
ing the county and the consequence
is that the farmers make more sell
ling their milk than they used to
from butter and save the work of
the women churning. Which means -
good-by to schmearkase.
