HE New Boston Dairy, while an interesting and 

 important department of the J. R. Whipple 

 Company, supplies the Hotels with only a 

 il few of the necessary products. The manage- 

 ment has not been content with the surety that its 

 patrons were receiving the very best butter, milk, cream, 

 pork, eggs, and vinegar, but has attempted to supply 

 the very best of everything, and to know as far as pos- 

 sible the conditions under which the supplies are pro- 

 duced and the manner in which they are stored and cared 

 for. To carry out this purpose, a Supply Department has 

 been organized to buy supplies for all three Hotels and to 

 provide proper storerooms for groceries and refrigeration 

 for meats, fish, and all kinds of perishable goods. A new 

 building has been built, connected with the Hotel Tou- 

 raine and equipped with a modern cold storage plant. 

 Here is kept all the beef used at the three Hotels, selected 

 by experts and stored under a careful supervision until 

 just the right age for use at the Hotels. Trout fresh from 

 the brooks near Wareham ; scallops and oysters from the 

 fishermen on Cape Cod; cheese made under special con- 

 ditions in New York State, for exacting patrons; flour in 

 car-load lots received direct from the best mills; turtles; 

 terrapin; wines especially selected; ash -cans; electric 

 fans; blankets; Irish linen made especially for the Hotels; 

 lace curtains; silverware; china from France, — form a 

 small part of the supplies furnished from this depart- 

 ment. 



But they all exist — Farm, Creamery, Piggery, Supply 

 Department — only to furnish the guests of Parker's, 

 Young's, and the Touraine with the best that can be 

 obtained.
