184 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



Resolved, That we urge dairymen to insist on tKe color dis- 

 tinction between butter and oleomargarine and urge them to

 dairy products, for the protection of the health and lives of those 

 people who are large consumers of dairy products. That the

 the federal and state officers in all their prompt and efficient

 our state through our State Utilities Commission refrigerator 

 service for the transportation of the dairy products from the 

 different parts of this state to Chicago — a natural market with- 

 in our borders, thereby avoiding long and expensive hauls of 

 our perishable product to the Atlantic Coast markets.
