112 MILK SURVEY OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER 



Under the head of "Pasteurizing," the cost of pasteurizing by the 

 Ottawa milk company and the Philadelphia milk company is far lower 

 than the cost of pasteurizing by any of the Rochester milk companies. 



Under the head of "Driving Retail Routes," the cost for the City of 

 Ottawa is far lower than the cost for any of the other companies in the 

 list excepting plant No. 1 19, a Rochester company which has practically 

 no retail. business. 



Under the head of "Office Force" is a most remarkable series of 

 costs. In this instance the cost of office force for the Ottawa milk com- 

 pany is so much lower than the costs for any of the other companies that 

 one would think the figure must be mistaken. It is, however, entirely 

 correct and due to the establishment of a most efficient system of book- 

 keeping by the Ottawa milk company. 



The costs in the three groups of dealers appearing in the three prev- 

 ious tabulations have been assembled together in order to get the total 

 cost per quart for retail bottled, wholesale bottled and wholesale canned 

 milk for the entire City of Rochester. These costs have been obtained 

 by putting together the costs of all of the dealers in the above group 

 and dividing these costs by the amount of milk sold in each class. These 

 results are shown in Table No. 49.
