156 MILK SURVEY OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER 



In Table No. 82 it appears that the small dealer selling under 501 

 quarts charged an average price for retail bottled milk at the time these 

 figures were obtained (in the month of August) of .13348, while dealers 

 selling from 501 to 1,000 quarts charged a trifle less. Dealers selling 

 from 1,000 quarts upwards charged the most. 



For wholesale milk in bottles the small dealers charged slightly less 

 than the other dealers, while for wholesale canned milk they charged as 

 much as one cent less than the dealers in the next class, and almost two 

 cents less than the large dealers. In examining these figures, however, 

 it must be borne in mind that the large dealers are pasteurizing milk and 

 that this adds to their cost. It is also true that the large dealers make 

 greater expenditures for the washing and sterilization, refrigeration and 

 other items of expense connected with the care of milk than is done by 

 the small dealers. 



In the last part of this tabulation will be noted the total selling prices 

 for the entire City of Rochester average and the total value of the milk 

 sold each day, which amounts to $10,001.45. This means that the milk 

 sold by the City of Rochester at these prices would bring in an income 

 annually of $3,650,529.25.
