174 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



convention of the National Creamery Buttermakers' Association 

 and National Convention of Dairymen in Chicago last year was 

 a great success, and

 a gathering, because of its central location, therefore 



Resolved, That we regret the decision of the National 

 Creamery Buttermakers' Association to break this combination 

 and hold their next convention in St. Paul, and 



Resolved, That we ask them to reconsider their action and 

 meet again in Chicago with the National Dairy Show in October.

 their universal willingness to assist in giving this meeting widest

 upon the program by favoring us with readings or music; to 

 Mr. Parks of the Herald, who labored so earnestly in the illus-

 co-operation in the meeting, and to the local committee, especially 

 Messrs. Wilson and Teague, for their indefatigable zeal in pro-

 plished in the past and being done at the present time, by the
