as a pure product. We want you to understand that we as manu- 

 facturers stand ready to do anything in our power to cooperate 

 with you. We want you to work with us. We do not want you 

 to feel that because some little manufacturer of ice cream has 

 been arrested and some dairvman blamed, that we are antagoniz-

 trying to cooperate with the dairyman to produce more and

 cream. We want you to feci that your interests are our interests 

 and that both the National and State Associations stand ready to 

 back you up in your work and aid you in every way.
