COPENHAGEN MILK-SUPPLY COMPANY 95 



same way, even in the vast city of London, the fame 

 of it has not reached me. I suggest that here there 

 is an opportunity for enterprising and philanthropic 

 vendors of milk in all the great towns of our country. 

 Only, could milk and cream thus collected and treated 

 be sold at a somewhat similar price in England? 

 The charges made to the householder in London and 

 other English cities do not seem to suggest that this 

 would be the case. 



Thus, by way of comparison with the prices 

 charged by the Copenhagen Milk-supply Company, 

 I will quote those of a large and excellent London 

 dairy, which supplies first-class milk, as set out in 

 their list in November 19 10. In studying these 

 figures it must be remembered that they are for 

 quarts, of which four go to the imperial gallon, 

 whereas it takes a shade over 4 J litres (4.54345797, 

 to be precise) to make an imperial gallon not a very 

 large difference, but still something. Therefore the 

 English dairy gives half a pint more in every four 

 quarts than does the Danish company.

It will be seen, therefore, that the London price for 

 new milk is a little under double the price for the 

 same article in Copenhagen, whereas the difference 

 in the cost of cream is enormous. The Copenhagen 

 company charges is. 2d. per litre for its best cream, 

 or, let us say, is. 6d. (an outside figure) per quart, 

 as against 4s. charged by the London dairy.
