EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN'S. 379 



Conclusions. 



1. The presence of two or more milk wagons on a street is not proof of 

 waste in milk delivery. 



2. Duplication of delivery tends to show the amomit of service rendered. 



3. Size of load shows efficiency of delivery. 



4. The ability of the driver and his equipment determine to a large extent 

 the size of a load. 



5. The demand of the consumer is the greatest cause of over-distribution 

 or duplication of routes. 



6. Exclusive wholesale delivery or milk stations are not a remedy for the 

 ailments of our present milk delivery system. 



7. Milk is but one commodity of a city's food supply subject to extra 

 distribution through demands of the consumer.
