MILK CARTAGE 7 



distributors were licensed to sell milk. All dealers to whom producers delivered 

 milk were licensed to sell in Springfield. All but one of them, a small dealer, 

 sold in at least one other town. It is worth noting that, although only one of the 

 dealers with plants in Springfield was licensed in Westfield, two resident Westfield 

 dealers sold in Springfield.

Cities and Towns in Which Buyers (i. e.. Milk Dealers in the Market Area) 

 Were Licensed to Sell Milk. 



The general market area contained and controlled the individual dealer markets 

 used by producers. Dealer plants receiving milk from farmers in the section were 

 widely distributed throughout the market area. Two were located in Westfield, ^ 

 one in Southwick, two in Agawani, three in West Springfield, and four in Spring- 

 field. There was in addition another plant at Westfield but the records were 

 incomplete and generally not usable. 



Five of the plants secured their total requirements from the section. They 

 were with one exception small, ranging from 344 to 3,064 pounds daily in Jan- 

 uary 1935. The remaining plants drew only a part of their supplies from this 

 section, which for some of the plants was substantial whereas for others it was 

 infinitesimal. Although these plants were outlets for all of the milk in the section, 

 its share of the markets' requirements ranged from only 7 to 10 percent during 

 the vear. 



^Data were not available on all Westfield dealers at the time data were collected.
