The central salesroom of this milk establisment in Dresden is 

 most elaborately decorated. It claims to be the most beautiful 

 milk salesroom in the world. Besides the tile floor it has tile 

 walls and ceilings. The tile on the walls are placed in large 

 panels of various designs containing scrolls, bouquets, etc., while 

 a frieze two feet in width extends around the walls of the ceiling. 

 The figures in this frieze represent the various processes of but-

 off the salesroom and the walls of this room are also decorated 

 with tile which represent farm scenes. These tile pictures are so 

 well made that a person in passing would be attracted and 

 induced to stop and take a look at the room even if he did not

Besides this central salesroom the business supports forty 

 smaller rooms distributed throughout the city. These are not 

 so elaborately decorated but resemble retail stalls for the sale of 

 milk, cream, etc., seen in every city.
