SUMMARY OF MONEY INVESTED IN THE BUSINESS OF 

 MILK DISTRIBUTION BY ROCHESTER MILK DEALERS 



In order to arrive at a fair statement of. the money invested in the 

 milk business of Rochester, the dealers have been divided into groups, 

 according to the size of their business. The dealers operating pasteurizing 

 machines have been grouped separately for the reason that their in- 

 vestment includes a much larger item for machinery, because the pas- 

 teurizers, which form the most important partof their equipment, are not 

 included in the equipment of the other dealers. 



Every one of the 25 dealers operating pasteurizers was visited by the 

 Inspectors of the Survey, and through conference with them, an estimate 

 was made of the value of their land, buildings, machinery and delivery 

 equipment. In addition to this, nine of the smaller dealers, handling 

 raw milk, were visited, and similar estimates formed of the value of the 

 land, buildings, machinery and delivery equipment owned by them. The 

 figures obtained from the dealers visited in this way were used as a basis 

 for estimating the value of the land, buildings, machinery and equipment 

 owned by the remainder of the small milk dealers. 



Values were pro-rated in accordance with the number of quarts 

 handled by each dealer. The figures obtained in this way are presented 



in Table No. 83.
